CEA Industries Board Advances Plan to Revise Asset Management Deal

Proposed amendment aims to lower management fees, reduce term and modify termination provision

Louisville, Colorado – February 18, 2026 — CEA Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: BNC) (“BNC” or the “Company”), a growth-oriented company focused on managing the world’s largest corporate treasury of BNB, today announced that BNC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has made a proposal to 10X Capital Asset Management LLC (“10X”) to amend the Company’s Asset Management Agreement (the “AMA”).

Among other enhancements, the Board is seeking lower management fees, a shorter term and a more favorable termination provision. 10X has indicated its willingness to work cooperatively with the Company to amend the AMA, and the Company seeks to resolve these discussions expeditiously.

The Board believes that an amended AMA, including a more cost-efficient structure, will enhance operational flexibility and support long-term value creation. The Board looks forward to constructive discussions to renegotiate the AMA for the benefit of all stockholders.

The Board’s proposal follows a comprehensive review of the AMA and related matters, during which the Board evaluated the structure and terms of the agreement and developed a detailed plan for reform. After YZi Labs publicly confirmed the termination of its Secret Side Agreement with 10X, which had restricted 10X from agreeing to amendments, the Board is moving forward with its proposal.
