Brand Engagement Network, Inc. Announces Appointment of Christian Unterseer to Board of Directors Brand Engagement Network, Inc. announced that Christian Unterseer, Cataneo Co-Founder, joined BEN's Board of Directors to support strategic direction and future M&A initiatives as the Company continues to expand its AI-powered media technology platform. A recognized pioneer in media technology, Unterseer founded Cataneo more than 25 years ago with the vision that media operations would ultimately move to the cloud, years before cloud-native infrastructure became widely adopted across the industry. Over more than two decades, Unterseer built Cataneo into a globally recognized enterprise platform serving leading media organizations across international markets.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$99.8m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 30% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (63% increase in shares outstanding).

Brand Engagement Network, Grupo Skye, and Knobloch Information Group Advance Skye Salud to Phase 2 Clinical Evaluation in Mexico Brand Engagement Network, Grupo Skye, and KNOBLOCH Information Group advanced Skye Salud to Phase 2 of its clinical evaluation program in Mexico. Skye Salud is an AI-powered medical evidence platform that leverages trusted medical literature, clinical guidelines, and other authoritative sources to support evidence-based clinical information retrieval. The initiative combines Brand Engagement Network's enterprise-grade AI capabilities, Grupo Skye's leadership in AI innovation across Latin America, and KNOBLOCH Information Group's longstanding presence and trusted relationships within Mexico's healthcare community. The organizations are evaluating how AI-powered access to trusted medical evidence may help improve access to clinical information across healthcare settings in Mexico and Latin America. The Phase 2 evaluation follows the successful completion of Phase 1 rheumatology testing conducted in a controlled evaluation environment. The initial evaluation assessed platform performance across specialty-specific clinical scenarios, evidence traceability, response quality and source transparency. The Phase 2 evaluation will expand testing into primary care use cases, where the platform will be assessed across a broader range of clinical topics and physician information needs. The expanded evaluation includes Spanish-language clinical content optimized for the Mexican healthcare environment. Mexico represents one of the largest healthcare markets in Latin America, creating a significant opportunity to evaluate AI-enabled access to trusted medical evidence at scale. The expansion of the evaluation program into primary care is intended to provide additional insight into platform performance, content coverage, usability, and future development opportunities. Phase 1 rheumatology testing was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Ruy Carrasco, Chief Medical Information Officer of Skye Salud and Brand Engagement Network Board Member. The evaluation focused on assessing the platform's ability to generate accurate, cited responses grounded in trusted medical evidence sources. The initial pilot within the domain of Rheumatology served as a critical baseline to validate the platform's response architecture, specifically concerning clinical rigor and evidence tractability. Extending this evaluation framework into Primary Care allows for the stress-testing of performance metrics across a more heterogeneous spectrum of clinical presentations. This expansion will be executed without compromising the stringent evidence thresholds or the source transparency protocols established during the foundational Phase 1 testing. The Phase 2 primary care evaluation serves a dual strategic purpose: assessing the platform's clinical coverage and evidence-support capabilities across broader care scenarios while generating actionable insights to inform future product development and commercialization planning. Subject to future evaluation results, regulatory considerations and commercial agreements, Brand Engagement Network, Grupo Skye, KNOBLOCH Information Group and other healthcare ecosystem participants may explore opportunities to broaden clinical coverage, expand Spanish-language medical content and evaluate potential future applications of the platform within healthcare settings across Mexico and Latin America.

Nasdaq Grants Extension to Brand Engagement Until December 29, 2025 to Regain Compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement As previously reported, on December 30, 2024, Brand Engagement Network Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for its common stock had been below $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) for 30 consecutive business days, it was no longer in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 days, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 1, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Extension Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has been granted an extension of 180 calendar days (the “Extension”), or until December 29, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a). If, at any time before December 29, 2025, the bid price for the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend the 10-day period). As outlined by Nasdaq, and as part of its terms for granting the Extension, if the Company fails to maintain a stockholders’ equity value above $5,000,000 in its financials included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2025, Nasdaq will withdraw the Extension and issue a delisting determination.

Specifically, the Company has confirmed to Nasdaq that, if necessary, it intends to implement a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock (if approved by the Company’s stockholders) to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during this 180-day Extension.

The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, although it would not be entitled to a stay of the suspension of trading of its common stock.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 25% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m (US$100k revenue). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$19m net loss in 3 years).

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$14m free cash flow).
