Under the terms of the Rescission Agreement, the Company and the Recipient mutually agreed to rescind, ab initio, a restricted stock award previously granted on January 1, 2025 (the "Original Award"). The Original Award, which was valued at $42,000.00 on the grant date and represented 23,204 pre-split shares (adjusted to 100 shares following the Company's 2025 reverse stock splits), was scheduled to vest on December 31, 2025.

The Parties elected to rescind the Original Award to mitigate an unintended and disproportionate tax liability to the Recipient resulting from the significant disparity between the Original Award's grant-date valuation and the current market value of the underlying shares. As a result of the rescission, the Original Award is deemed null and void, and no shares will be issued thereunder.

Simultaneously, on January 9, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new equity retention grant to the Recipient consisting of 100 shares of restricted common stock (the "2026 Grant") under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2026 Grant was fully vested upon issuance. The Company believes this re-grant maintains the intended equity incentive for the Recipient while aligning the associated tax basis with the current fair market value of the Company's common stock.

The foregoing description of the Rescission Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Rescission Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.**

This Exchange Agreement (this "**Agreement**") is entered into as of January 6, 2026 by and between Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("**Lender**"), and American Rebel Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("**Borrower**"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Original Note (defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Borrower previously sold and issued to Lender that certain Secured Promissory Note with an original issuance date of June 26, 2025 in the principal amount of $5,470,000.00 (the "**Original Note**" together with all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the "**Transaction Documents**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower and Lender desire to partition a new Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $100,000.00 (the "**Partitioned Note**") from the Original Note and then cause the outstanding balance of the Original Note to be reduced by an amount equal to the initial outstanding balance of the Partitioned Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Borrower and Lender further desire to exchange (such exchange is referred to as the "**Note Exchange**") the Partitioned Note for the delivery of 197,122 shares of the Borrower's Common Shares, $0.001 par value (the "**Common Stock**," and such 197,122 shares of Common Stock, the "**Exchange Shares**"), according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. The Note Exchange will consist of Lender surrendering the Partitioned Note in exchange for the Exchange Shares, which will be issued free of any restrictive securities legend pursuant to Rule 144. Other than the surrender of the Partitioned Note, no consideration of any kind whatsoever shall be given by Lender to Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Lender and Borrower now desire to exchange the Partitioned Note for the Exchange Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Recitals and Definitions</u>. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Agreement are true and accurate, are contractual in nature, and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Partition</u>. Effective as of the date hereof, Borrower and Lender agree that the Partitioned Note is hereby partitioned from the Original Note. Following such partition of the Original Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the Original Note shall remain in full force and effect, provided that the outstanding balance of the Original Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the initial outstanding balance of the Partitioned Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Issuance of Shares</u>. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Exchange Shares shall be delivered to Lender on or before January 8, 2026 and the Note Exchange shall occur with Lender surrendering the Partitioned Note to Borrower on the Free Trading Date (as defined below). On the Free Trading Date, the Partitioned Note shall be cancelled and all obligations of Borrower under the Partitioned Note shall be deemed fulfilled. All Exchange Shares delivered hereunder shall be delivered via DWAC to Lender's designated brokerage account. Subject to the securities laws and regulations, Borrower agrees to provide all necessary cooperation or assistance that may be required to cause all Exchange Shares delivered hereunder to become Free Trading (the first date such occurs, the "**Free Trading Date**"). For purposes hereof, the term "**Free Trading**" means that (a) the Exchange Shares have been cleared and approved for public resale by the compliance departments of Lender's brokerage firm and the clearing firm servicing such brokerage, and (b) such shares are held in the name of the clearing firm servicing Lender's brokerage firm and have been deposited into such clearing firm's account for the benefit of Lender.

Lender and Borrower agree that for the purposes of Rule 144 ("**Rule 144**") of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), the holding period of the Partitioned Note and the Exchange Shares will include Lender's holding period of the Original Note from June 26, 2025, which date is the date that the Original Note was originally issued. Borrower agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 5 in any document, statement, setting, or situation. Borrower agrees to take all action necessary to issue the Exchange Shares without restriction, and not containing any restrictive legend without the need for any action by Lender; provided that the applicable holding period has been met. In furtherance thereof, prior to the Closing, counsel to Lender may, in its sole discretion, provide an opinion that: (a) the Exchange Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements; and (b) the transactions contemplated hereby and all other documents associated with this transaction comport with the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Borrower represents that it is in full compliance with the tests and standards set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) as of the date of this Agreement. The Exchange Shares are being issued in substitution of and exchange for and not in satisfaction of the Partitioned Note.

**<u>EXCHANGE AGREEMENT</u>**

This Exchange Agreement (this "**Agreement**") is entered into as of January 13, 2026 by and between Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("**Lender**"), and American Rebel Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("**Borrower**"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Original Note (defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Borrower previously sold and issued to Lender that certain Secured Promissory Note with an original issuance date of June 26, 2025 in the principal amount of $5,470,000.00 (the "**Original Note**" together with all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the "**Transaction Documents**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower and Lender desire to partition a new Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $125,000.00 (the "**Partitioned Note**") from the Original Note and then cause the outstanding balance of the Original Note to be reduced by an amount equal to the initial outstanding balance of the Partitioned Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Borrower and Lender further desire to exchange (such exchange is referred to as the "**Note Exchange**") the Partitioned Note for the delivery of 282,485 shares of the Borrower's Common Shares, $0.001 par value (the "**Common Stock**," and such 282,485 shares of Common Stock, the "**Exchange Shares**"), according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. The Note Exchange will consist of Lender surrendering the Partitioned Note in exchange for the Exchange Shares, which will be issued free of any restrictive securities legend pursuant to Rule 144. Other than the surrender of the Partitioned Note, no consideration of any kind whatsoever shall be given by Lender to Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Lender and Borrower now desire to exchange the Partitioned Note for the Exchange Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Recitals and Definitions</u>. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Agreement are true and accurate, are contractual in nature, and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Partition</u>. Effective as of the date hereof, Borrower and Lender agree that the Partitioned Note is hereby partitioned from the Original Note. Following such partition of the Original Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the Original Note shall remain in full force and effect, provided that the outstanding balance of the Original Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the initial outstanding balance of the Partitioned Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Issuance of Shares</u>. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Exchange Shares shall be delivered to Lender on or before January 14, 2026 and the Note Exchange shall occur with Lender surrendering the Partitioned Note to Borrower on the Free Trading Date (as defined below). On the Free Trading Date, the Partitioned Note shall be cancelled and all obligations of Borrower under the Partitioned Note shall be deemed fulfilled. All Exchange Shares delivered hereunder shall be delivered via DWAC to Lender's designated brokerage account. Subject to the securities laws and regulations, Borrower agrees to provide all necessary cooperation or assistance that may be required to cause all Exchange Shares delivered hereunder to become Free Trading (the first date such occurs, the "**Free Trading Date**"). For purposes hereof, the term "**Free Trading**" means that (a) the Exchange Shares have been cleared and approved for public resale by the compliance departments of Lender's brokerage firm and the clearing firm servicing such brokerage, and (b) such shares are held in the name of the clearing firm servicing Lender's brokerage firm and have been deposited into such clearing firm's account for the benefit of Lender.

The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (the "**Closing**") along with the delivery of the Exchange Shares to Lender shall occur on the date that is mutually agreed to by Borrower and Lender by means of the exchange by email of .pdf documents, but shall be deemed to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Holding Period, Tacking and Legal Opinion</u>. Lender and Borrower agree that for the purposes of Rule 144 ("**Rule 144**") of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), the holding period of the Partitioned Note and the Exchange Shares will include Lender's holding period of the Original Note from June 26, 2025, which date is the date that the Original Note was originally issued. Borrower agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 5 in any document, statement, setting, or situation. Borrower agrees to take all action necessary to issue the Exchange Shares without restriction, and not containing any restrictive legend without the need for any action by Lender; provided that the applicable holding period has been met. In furtherance thereof, prior to the Closing, counsel to Lender may, in its sole discretion, provide an opinion that: (a) the Exchange Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements; and (b) the transactions contemplated hereby and all other documents associated with this transaction comport with the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Borrower represents that it is in full compliance with the tests and standards set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) as of the date of this Agreement. The Exchange Shares are being issued in substitution of and exchange for and not in satisfaction of the Partitioned Note. The Exchange Shares shall not constitute a novation or satisfaction and accord of the Partitioned Note. Borrower acknowledges and understands that the representations and agreements of Borrower in this Section 5 are a material inducement to Lender's decision to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Borrower</u>.

The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference. **BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Counterparts</u>.

## Exhibit 10.4

**Exhibit 10.4**

**EXCHANGE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT**

**I**

**<u>PARTIES</u>**

**THIS EXCHANGE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT** (the "<u>Agreement</u>") is effective as of the 12th day of January 2026 (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"), by and between AGILE CAPITAL FUNDING LLC, a New York limited liability company ("<u>Agile</u>"); **<u>and</u>**, AMERICAN REBEL HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation ("<u>AREB</u>"). AREB and Agile are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the "<u>Parties</u>", and each individually as a "<u>Party</u>".

**II**

**<u>RECITALS</u>**

WHEREAS, AREB previously entered into that certain Business Loan and Security Agreement (the "<u>Loan Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which Agile extended a term loan in the principal amount of $787,500.00, inclusive of a $37,500.00 Administrative Agent Fee, with drawdowns governed by the Drawdown Schedule set forth in the Loan Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, terms defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein;

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Loan Agreement, AREB was obligated to repay a total amount of $1,134,000.00, which includes all accrued interest, lender fees, and third-party charges;

WHEREAS, AREB currently has an outstanding balance of $1,012,500.00 under the Loan Agreement, and such amount represents the settled balance currently owed by AREB to Agile;

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that the Loan Agreement, and term loan associated therewith, along with any Advances made thereunder, represented a "security", as that term is commonly defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time-to-time (the "<u>Securities Act</u>").

WHEREAS, the Parties expressly agree that this Agreement shall supersede the original versions and all previous modifications, amendments, and restructurings (if any) regarding the Loan Agreement and any other agreement related thereto (collectively, the "<u>Prior Agreements</u>").

WHEREAS, The transactions envisioned hereunder will be affected in compliance with, and will otherwise satisfy, all requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

**NOW, THEREFORE,** in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged (all of the foregoing specifically in respect to this Agreement and not for any other actions or transactions by and between the Parties), the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

**III**

**<u>EXCHANGE AND ISSUANCE</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 **<u>Exchange</u>**. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AREB and Agile shall, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, exchange (a) the past-due installment payment due on January 8, 2026 under the Loan Agreement, and (b) the three future installment payments due on January 15, 2026, January 22, 2026, and January 29, 2026 under the Loan Agreement (collectively, the "<u>Settled Payments</u>") for 30,240 shares of AREB Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "<u>Settlement Shares</u>"), valued at $7.50 per share. The issuance of the Settlement Shares for the Settled Payments is hereby defined as the "<u>Exchange</u>."

For purposes of this Section 3.1, the aggregate amount being settled is $162,000.00 (4 payments × $40,500.00 per payment) (the "<u>Payment Total</u>"), plus a 40% fee equal to $64,800.00 (the "<u>Fee</u>"). The Payment Total plus the Fee equals $226,800.00 (the "<u>Settlement Amount</u>"). The number of Settlement Shares issuable is determined by dividing the Settlement Amount by $7.50 per share ($226,800.00 ÷ $7.50 = 30,240 Settlement Shares).

Upon consummation of the Exchange, the Settled Payments shall be deemed satisfied in full and no longer due or payable; for the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth herein (or in a written amendment executed by the parties), the Loan Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect with respect to any obligations not included in the Settled Payments.

"AREB Series D Convertible Preferred Stock" means the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, with the rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, and conversion features set forth in the Company's organizational documents and the applicable certificate/articles of designation (as filed and in effect from time to time). Each share of AREB Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of AREB common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "<u>Common Stock</u>") at a fixed price of $1.50 per share (each preferred share converts into five shares of Common Stock).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 **<u>Issuance of the Settlement Shares</u>**. Concurrent with the Exchange, AREB shall issue the Settlement Shares to Agile (the "<u>Issuance</u>"). In order to affect the Issuance, the Parties further agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Settlement Shares shall be issued in restricted form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by AREB's securities counsel. AREB agrees to file a resale registration statement (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>") covering Agile's resale of all of shares of common stock underlying the conversion of the Settlement Shares within five (5) business days of executing this Agreement. If the Registration Statement is not filed within the agreed timeframe, the total number of Settlement Shares shall automatically increase by ten percent (10%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) AREB shall pay all costs charged in order to affect the Issuance, the costs of the Registration Statement and the conversion of the Settlement Shares and subsequent issuance of shares of common stock by AREB's transfer agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuance and Exchange is intended to be in full compliance with, and otherwise satisfy, the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Settlement Shares contain a provision limiting Agile's beneficial ownership percentage in AREB. The Parties agree that such provision is a material part of this Agreement and shall not be breached by AREB. In no event shall Agile be deemed to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of AREB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement the parties hereto agree that the total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, upon the conversion of the AREB Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may not exceed the requirements established in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) (the "<u>Approval</u>"), except such limitation shall not apply following compliance by AREB with the requirements of the Approval, if required. If necessary, AREB covenants and agrees to obtain the Approval, within 60 days of the determination date that the Approval is required, of the shares of Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement.

**IV**

**<u>RELEASE</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 **<u>Mutual Release</u>**. In consideration of the covenants, promises, and satisfaction of the obligations contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and value of which is hereby confirmed, Agile on the one hand, and AREB on the other hand, shall hereby fully, finally, and forever settle and release each other and their respective executors, administrators, successors, assigns, directors, officers, stockholders, members, managers, owners, affiliates, and attorneys from any and all known and unknown claims of every nature and kind whatsoever, losses, fines, penalties, damages, demands, judgments, debts, obligations, interests, liabilities, causes of action, breaches of duty, costs, expenses, and injunctions of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, arising under or related to the Exchange and the Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 **<u>Express Waiver of Certain Rights</u>**. The Parties hereby agree that the release of claims hereunder shall expressly include (i) any and all known and unknown claims of every nature and kind whatsoever which the Parties now or hereafter may have with respect to each other with regard to and arising under the Exchange; and, (ii) the irrevocable waiver by AREB of all rights of offset, defense, or counterclaims with respect to the enforceability of any of the Prior Agreements (collectively referred to herein as the "<u>Released Claims</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 **<u>Covenant Not to Sue</u>**. A "covenant not to sue" is a legal term which means that each Party promises not to file a lawsuit or other legal claim against the other Party. The Parties promise not to file a lawsuit, arbitration proceeding, administrative proceeding, or any other legal claim against the other Party. It is different from the mutual release and waiver in the above sections. Besides waiving and releasing claims hereunder, each Party agrees never to sue any of the persons named in Section 4.1, above, in any court, arbitration proceeding, administrative proceeding or otherwise, for any claim released in this Agreement. Notwithstanding this Covenant Not to Sue, either Party may bring a claim against the other Party to enforce this Agreement, and may bring any other claim that cannot legally be waived.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 **<u>After Acquired Information</u>**. The Parties acknowledge that they may hereafter discover information, facts, or circumstances different from or in addition to those which they now know or believe to be true. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in all respects notwithstanding such discovery, and the Parties expressly accept and assume the risk of such possible additions to or differences from those facts now known or believed to be true.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5 **<u>Enforceability</u>**. The enforceability of this Agreement is conditioned upon each Party satisfying its respective obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6 **<u>No Prior Assignments</u>**. The Parties hereby covenant that no part of the Loan Agreement or the Released Claims has been assigned to any other person, and that no other person has any interest in any part of the Loan Agreement or the Released Claims. In the event any other person asserts any interest with respect to the Loan Agreement or the Released Claims, then the Party breaching this covenant shall indemnify the Party against whom such claim is asserted for any and all damages, costs, and fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.7 **<u>Specific Exclusions</u>**. It is expressly understood that the release contained in this Agreement does not encompass the promises and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement or the rights remaining under the Loan Agreement, which the Parties agree remain in full and force effect, as amended hereunder. This Agreement also does not contemplate or include within the release hereunder post-Effective Date intentionally willful, tortious, or criminal acts of either Party, such acts being expressly excluded from this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.8 **<u>No Admission of Liability</u>**.

Working Distributors exemplifies the enduring spirit of family-owned American enterprise in the beverage wholesale sector, having evolved from modest beginnings into a dominant force in Southwestern Indiana. Established in December 1965 by Milton and Sharon Working as Working Beverage, the company initially focused on distributing brands like Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, and Carling Black Label from a small Evansville base. Through strategic expansions, including key acquisitions in 1984 and 1987 that solidified its Anheuser-Busch partnership, it reincorporated as Working Distributors and grew to become the largest wholesaler in the Evansville market by 1981. Today, as the sole remaining wholesaler in the area, it operates from a state-of-the-art facility built in 2002, emphasizing efficiency, scalability, and superior service. With third-generation leadership on the horizon, the company maintains a staff rich in experience—over 100 collective years in beer distribution—and a culture that prioritizes pride, dedication, and exceeding expectations, making it an ideal collaborator for brands like American Rebel Light Beer seeking nationwide momentum through distributor-first strategies.

The portfolio's breadth—encompassing premium domestic staples, innovative crafts, global imports, and health-conscious non-alcoholics—caters to evolving consumer demands, while its exclusive Anheuser-Busch alignment positions it within a network of excellence, akin to wholesalers recognized in programs like Ambassadors of Excellence for performance and community impact. Working Distributors' bullish trajectory is evident in its ability to thrive amid industry consolidation, leveraging strong retail ties to ensure seamless market penetration and visibility. This operational prowess not only supports suppliers with reliable infrastructure but also amplifies brand traction in a competitive landscape, promising accelerated growth for partners amid Indiana's vibrant beer scene.

Community engagement forms the cornerstone of Working Distributors' ethos, fostering loyalty through active sponsorships and initiatives that resonate with patriotic, values-driven narratives. For instance, longstanding partnerships with the Evansville Otters baseball team include Thirsty Thursday promotions, Red, White and Blue Nights, and heritage celebrations, which build goodwill and align with themes of freedom and local pride—perfectly complementing American Rebel's unapologetically American branding. Broader economic contributions, such as sponsoring the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership's 2025 Annual Meeting & Dinner, underscore its role in regional vitality, collaborating with networks like the Indiana Value Chain and sector partnerships to promote resilience and prosperity. As it marks its 60th anniversary in 2025, Working Distributors remains poised for future triumphs, embodying the resilience and innovation that define top-tier wholesalers, and offering a launchpad for emerging successes like American Rebel Light Beer's expansion.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding: the anticipated benefits of the Company's distribution-first strategy; expected performance of the partnership with Working Distributors and other recently added distributors; the timing, scope and success of planned on-premise and off-premise rollouts in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Arkansas, and other markets; the Company's ability to convert interest from the 2025 National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) Annual Convention into additional distribution agreements, new market entries or other business opportunities; and potential or anticipated future retail authorizations or expansions with regional and national chains.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of factors, including, among others: the Company's ability to successfully negotiate and execute definitive agreements with potential new distributors identified at NBWA 2025 or through other business development activities; whether any such agreements, if executed, result in meaningful sales volume or profitability; the performance of existing and new distributors, including Working Distributors, Wilson McGinley, Muller Distributing, Mid-State Beverage Company, Banko Beverage Company, Ace Distributing, Commercial Distributing Company, and C & C Distributors; competitive responses from other beer brands; general economic and market conditions; supply chain and production risks; regulatory changes; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, initial retail placements and authorizations — including those with national, regional, specialty and convenience chains — do not guarantee long-term placement, expanded distribution, future purchase orders or successful sell-through of American Rebel Light Beer. Retail authorizations may be limited in time or geography, may be subject to test or trial periods, and may be reduced, modified or discontinued by the retailer at any time based on factors such as consumer demand, category performance, competitive activity, pricing, promotions, supply reliability, merchandising support and retailer strategy. Even where American Rebel Light Beer has secured shelf, cold box or tap handle placement, there can be no assurance that consumers will purchase the product at levels sufficient to sustain or grow distribution.

Other important risk factors that may affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition are described in American Rebel's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

**Exhibit 99.3**

**American Rebel Board and Executive Leadership Convert Approximately $2.05 Million of Accrued Fees and Compensation into Equity, Further Strengthening Stockholders' Equity and Reducing Accrued Liabilities**

 

*Board of Directors, senior management (including the President and Chief Executive Officer) and former President elect to convert accrued obligations into Series D Convertible Preferred Stock; action supports continued stockholders' equity improvement and commitment to continued corporate actions to support ongoing Nasdaq listing*

**NASHVILLE, TN., Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —** American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) ("American Rebel" or the "Company") today highlighted a significant leadership alignment and balance-sheet strengthening action in which the Company's Board of Directors and senior leadership—including its President, Chief Executive Officer and former President—elected to convert accrued board fees, compensation-related amounts, and certain other accrued obligations into equity.

As disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 6, 2026, these non-cash conversions were effectuated through the issuance of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (stated value $7.50 per share) in exchange for accrued obligations previously reflected as liabilities on the Company's balance sheet.

"Choosing equity is what leadership alignment looks like," said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. "Our Board and management team are converting accrued fees and compensation into equity because we believe in the long-term value we're building. This action strengthens our balance sheet, improves stockholders' equity, and reinforces our commitment to taking all critical corporate actions and any steps necessary to maintain our Nasdaq listing. We're executing a disciplined plan, and we believe the foundation we've built positions American Rebel for continued momentum ahead."

**Strengthening Stockholders' Equity and Reducing Accrued Obligations**

In aggregate, Company leadership and directors have converted **approximately $2.05 million** of accrued obligations (including accrued advances, bonuses, "other owed amounts," and director fees) into equity.

Management believes this action is expected to:

● Reduce accrued liabilities and certain accrued obligations on the Company's balance sheet (including accrued compensation and director fees), subject to final accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP;

● Improve stockholders' equity by reclassifying accrued obligations into equity (a non-cash balance-sheet improvement);

● Preserve cash that otherwise could have been used to satisfy these accrued obligations; and

● Deepen insider alignment with stockholders through increased long-term equity exposure.

The Company views these conversions as part of a broader, continuing series of strategic actions aimed at maintaining its Nasdaq listing and driving sustained improvements to stockholders' equity.

**Leadership and Director Participation (As Disclosed; Updated for Subsequent Change)**

The Form 8-K discloses the following Series D issuances in exchange for accrued amounts owed to leadership and directors, among other matters:

● Doug Grau (former President): 62,211 shares of Series D for accrued advances totaling $466,581.10

● Charles A. Ross, Jr. ("Andy Ross"), Chairman & CEO: 73,439 shares of Series D for accrued bonuses and other owed amounts totaling $550,791.96

● Corey Lambrecht, COO, President & Director: 69,381 shares of Series D for accrued bonuses, other owed amounts, and accrued board member fees totaling $520,351.28

● Michael Dean Smith (Independent Director): 23,923 shares of Series D for accrued director fees totaling $179,416.67

● C. Stephen Cochennet (Independent Director): 23,923 shares of Series D for accrued director fees totaling $179,416.67

● Larry Sinks (Independent Director): 36,439 shares of Series D for accrued director fees of $153,291.66 and loan interest of $120,000.00

**Subsequent to the January 6, 2026, Form 8-K filing, the Company and Larry Sinks mutually agreed to cancel the conversion of the $120,000.00 of accrued loan interest.** Mr. Sinks remains committed to converting his accrued board member fees. The Company expects to file a **new Form 8-K** to update the total insider conversions to reflect this change (reducing the previously disclosed aggregate conversion amount by $120,000.00, from approximately $2.17 million to approximately **$2.05 million**).

**2025 Strategic Actions: A Documented Pattern of Nasdaq and Equity-Focused Execution**

American Rebel noted that this leadership fee conversion continues a multi-quarter series of corporate actions publicly communicated throughout 2025, including:

● Regaining Nasdaq periodic filing compliance (February 2025)

● Reverse stock split with round lot shareholder protection (March 2025)

● Private placement financing (April 2025)

● Nasdaq hearing request and equity improvement actions (August 2025)

*With Virginia momentum already underway through Valley, Lawrence Distributing brings heavyweight local execution to amplify chain interest, shelf gains, and on-/off-premise growth for American Rebel Light*

NASHVILLE, TN, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) ("American Rebel" or the "Company"), America's Patriotic Brand, and maker of **American Rebel Light Beer—America's Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand-Your-Ground Beer**—today announced a strategic distribution partnership with Lawrence Distributing Company (LDC), a multi-generational, family-owned beverage wholesaler headquartered in Danville, Virginia. This agreement expands American Rebel Light Beer's Virginia footprint, building on the Company's existing Virginia distribution momentum through Valley Distributing and further strengthening coverage to support accelerating retail rollouts and on-premise growth opportunities in 2026.

![](ex99-4_001.jpg)

"2026 is the year we turn distribution momentum into retail velocity at scale—and the way we do that is by stacking our network with high-execution, community-embedded distributors who win at the account level every single day," said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc.

They're a proven Southside Virginia operator with real infrastructure, disciplined field execution, and relationships that go back generations. This partnership strengthens the Virginia foundation we began building with Valley and positions us to fill out the footprint to meet increasing inquiries from local and regional chain stores that want American Rebel Light Beer on shelves and in coolers. We're expanding with purpose—market by market—so consumers can find Rebel Light where they already shop and celebrate. It's going to be an exciting year for American Rebel."

American Rebel's (www.americanrebelbeer.com) Distributor-First strategy is designed to prioritize best-in-class regional wholesalers who deliver shelf placement, cold-box execution, and in-market momentum—then scale those wins into broader retail and chain authorizations. That approach has been reinforced by recent company-announced milestones including national distributor engagement momentum and major retail rollout progress headed into spring reset season.

**Recent announced execution wins since September 2025 include:**

We're proud to build alongside a family-owned distributor with a reputation like Lawrence. Rebel Up, Virginia."

**Lawrence Distributing Company + American Rebel Light Beer**

***A high-execution Virginia partnership built on local strength, service discipline, and community roots***

Founded in 1954, Lawrence Distributing Company has grown from a one-truck operation into a leading beverage wholesaler serving Southside and south-central Virginia with a broad portfolio of beer, wine, water, and non-alcoholic beverages. Today, LDC employs 80+ team members and services 1,000+ customers across a territory spanning 10+ counties and the cities and towns within them, reaching an estimated regional population of approximately 375,000.

LDC's operations are built for consistent execution and product integrity. The company operates two warehouse facilities—a primary location in Danville, Virginia, and a secondary facility in South Hill, Virginia—with climate-controlled storage for beer to help ensure consistent quality year-round. Package beer is stored at controlled temperatures (68°F or lower) and keg beer is stored colder (38°F or lower), reflecting the company's commitment to proper handling from warehouse to retailer.

LDC brings not only infrastructure, but also meaningful on-the-ground capacity: a pre-sell model, an experienced sales force organized by geography, delivery and merchandising teams aligned to execute in-market priorities, and operational support that includes trained draft technicians who service and maintain draft systems in accounts. The company's scale is significant, with annual volume reported at just over 1,000,000 equivalent cases (12oz equivalents).

LDC's broad portfolio and reputation also matter in winning retailer confidence. The company distributes major domestic, craft, and import brands—creating "portfolio context" that helps new brands like American Rebel Light Beer compete for attention and placement alongside established category leaders. Just as important, Lawrence Distributing is known as a relationship-first organization and a long-term brand builder, reflecting the founder's philosophy of earning customer respect by putting the customer's interests first. That approach—deep relationships paired with disciplined execution—has helped LDC thrive for more than 70 years and remain a respected community business in southern Virginia.

**What Lawrence Distributing Company brings to American Rebel Light Beer**

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding: the anticipated benefits of the Company's **Distributor-First** strategy; the expected performance of the Company's distribution partnership with **Lawrence Distributing Company** ("Lawrence") and the anticipated benefits of strengthening the Company's Virginia footprint alongside the Company's existing Virginia distribution momentum through **Valley Distributing**; the timing, scope, and success of planned on-premise and off-premise rollouts in Virginia and other markets; the Company's expectations regarding distribution momentum, retail velocity, retail rollouts, shelf gains, chain interest, and on-/off-premise growth opportunities during 2026; the Company's ability to complete additional distribution agreements, expand coverage within Virginia and other states, and/or "fill out the footprint" to meet increasing inquiries from local and regional chain stores; the Company's ability to secure, maintain, and expand retail authorizations, including any planned resets, rollouts, placements, or account expansions referenced in this release; the Company's ability to convert retailer interest and distributor discussions into purchase orders, sustained distribution, and repeat sales; the Company's ability to convert interest and follow-up opportunities generated from the 2025 National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) Annual Convention into additional distribution agreements, new market entries, or other business opportunities; and the Company's expectations regarding future sales, growth, and financial performance.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "intends," "may," "will," "should," "could," "targets," "projects," "seeks," "estimates," "positions," "momentum," "opportunity," "rollout," "accelerate," "continue," "expand," and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms.

Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, among others: the Company's ability to successfully implement its Distributor-First strategy and achieve sustained market execution; the Company's ability to effectively launch, distribute, merchandise, promote, and maintain adequate supply levels of American Rebel Light Beer in Virginia and other territories; the performance of existing and new distributors (including, without limitation, **Lawrence Distributing Company**, **Valley Distributing**, **Working Distributors**, **Zink Distributing**, **Wilson McGinley**, **Muller Distributing**, **Mid-State Beverage Company**, **Banko Beverage Company**, **Ace Distributing**, **Commercial Distributing Company**, and **C & C Distributors**), including their commitment to and prioritization of American Rebel Light Beer, their ability to obtain and maintain retail and on-premise placements, their sales and merchandising execution, their ability to execute promotions, and their retailer support; the Company's ability to negotiate and execute definitive agreements with potential additional distributors and whether any such agreements, if executed, result in meaningful sales volume or profitability; the Company's ability to meet retailer requirements (including service levels, pricing, promotions, allocations, marketing support, packaging requirements, quality standards, and product availability), and the timing and extent of any retail resets, authorizations, rollouts, or chain expansions; consumer adoption, trial rates, and repeat purchase behavior; the impact of pricing, promotional activity, competitor actions, and category dynamics; the Company's ability to compete effectively in a highly competitive beer and beverage marketplace; general economic conditions, inflationary pressures, and changes in consumer spending patterns; production capacity, quality control, supply chain reliability, ingredient availability, packaging availability, transportation constraints, and other operational risks; the Company's ability to execute marketing programs and promotional activities in compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including alcoholic beverage advertising, labeling, and trade practice regulations); regulatory and licensing changes affecting alcoholic beverage distribution and sales; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, initial retail placements and authorizations — including those with national, regional, specialty, grocery, convenience, and on-premise accounts — do not guarantee long-term placement, expanded distribution, future purchase orders, or successful sell-through of American Rebel Light Beer. Retail authorizations may be limited in time or geography, may be subject to test or trial periods, may be impacted by resets or category reviews, and may be reduced, modified, or discontinued by a retailer at any time based on factors such as consumer demand, category performance, competitive activity, pricing, promotions, supply reliability, merchandising support, and retailer strategy. Even where American Rebel Light Beer has secured shelf, cold box, or tap handle placement, there can be no assurance that consumers will purchase the product at levels sufficient to sustain or grow distribution, or that any retailer inquiries, discussions, or indications of interest will result in authorizations, purchase orders, expanded placements, or continued distribution.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation: (a) the final accounting treatment of transactions and arrangements described in the Company's SEC filings under U.S. GAAP, including valuation determinations, classification between liabilities and equity, and related presentation and disclosure requirements; (b) the possibility that the SEC may review, comment on, delay, or not declare effective any registration statement or other filing (including any contemplated registration statement on Form S-1), or that the Company may be unable to timely file or maintain the effectiveness of registration statements or periodic reports for any reason; (c) the risk that the Company may not be able to meet Nasdaq continued listing requirements in the future (including due to changes in stockholders' equity, market value, minimum bid price, corporate governance requirements, or other factors), and the risk of additional compliance actions, trading suspension, or delisting; (d) **if applicable**, the risk that conversions of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock may not occur as anticipated, may be delayed, may be limited by contractual provisions (including beneficial ownership limitations), regulatory considerations, market conditions, or other factors, and/or may result in greater-than-anticipated dilution; (e) the availability of sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock, including the application of equity plan limits, share reservation mechanics, and other corporate, legal, or exchange requirements affecting issuance capacity; (f) the Company's ability to perform its obligations under commercial agreements described in its SEC filings (including any sponsorship arrangements and related registration rights), and the impact of any disputes, enforcement actions, penalties, or additional consideration provisions triggered by non-performance or alleged non-performance; (g) the Company's ability to rely on exemptions from registration for securities issuances described in its SEC filings and the risk of differing interpretations by regulators or third parties; (h) adverse developments in the Company's operating results, liquidity, or access to capital; (i) volatility in the trading price and liquidity of the Company's securities; and (j) general economic, market, regulatory, and competitive conditions.

Additional information regarding these and other risks is included in the Company's filings with the SEC, including under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as such filings may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.
