Creatd Restores Majority Ownership of Vocal as Part of Broader Uplisting Strategy

Creatd, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTD) announced Monday that its board and Vocal shareholders have approved a targeted equity realignment and repurchase initiative to restore Creatd’s majority ownership of Vocal from approximately 20% to 51%. The move follows the sale of Fly Flyte, Inc. and represents a key step in the Company’s corporate reorganization, SEC re-registration process, and planned uplisting to a national exchange.

The transaction involves repurchasing certain Vocal common shares and Series A Preferred equity interests from current and former stakeholders at a valuation based on Vocal’s independent 409A valuation. “We believe establishing majority ownership of Vocal is an important strategic step for Creatd as we continue advancing our uplisting objectives,” said Jeremy Frommer, Chairman and CEO. Vocal, a creator-focused platform reaching about 30 million monthly unique visitors and supporting nearly 10,000 premium creators, has been foundational to Creatd since its development.

Vocal is also nearing the launch of Vocal 3.0, the next major platform evolution incorporating AI-enabled infrastructure, enhanced creator tools, and expanded monetization capabilities. The company believes this update will allow Vocal to scale beyond its existing audience while strengthening its role as a core technology, media, and brand-services asset. Additionally, Vocal’s agency business works with brands to connect with authentic audiences, serving as a funnel for potential M&A opportunities.

“Vocal has evolved into more than a publishing platform. It has become a combined creator, media, technology, and brand-services asset,” Frommer added. “Vocal 3.0, together with the continued scaling of its agency business, positions Vocal for meaningful growth in the second half of 2026 and increasingly into 2027.”

Alongside the equity realignment, Creatd updated the record date for its annual shareholder meeting from April 17 to May 26, 2026, with the virtual meeting rescheduled from May 21 to June 25, 2026. Shareholders of record as of May 26 will be entitled to vote. The company noted the updated timing will better align milestones with its SEC re-registration, audited financials, and reorganization efforts.

Creatd recently completed its 2025 audit and submitted an amended draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC, marking progress in its uplisting process. The company continues to advance its Vocal equity realignment, corporate reorganization, Vocal 3.0 launch plan, and uplisting strategy. Further updates will be provided as these initiatives progress.
