Creatd to Regain Majority Ownership of Vocal as Part of Uplisting Strategy

Creatd, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTD) announced Wednesday that its board of directors and Vocal, Inc. shareholders have approved an equity realignment initiative to restore Creatd’s majority ownership of Vocal. The transactions are expected to increase Creatd’s stake from approximately 20% to 51% on a post-transaction basis, marking a key step in the company’s broader corporate reorganization and planned uplisting to a national exchange.

The repurchase of certain Vocal common shares and Series A Preferred equity interests from current and former stakeholders will be completed at a valuation based on Vocal’s previously established independent 409A valuation. Vocal, a creator-focused platform supporting digital publishing and monetization, has historically been developed, funded, and majority-owned by Creatd. The board determined that reestablishing majority ownership is critical to Creatd’s capital markets strategy.

‘We believe establishing majority ownership of Vocal is an important strategic step for Creatd as we continue advancing our uplisting objectives and broader restructuring initiatives,’ said Jeremy Frommer, Chairman and CEO of Creatd. ‘Increasing our ownership from approximately 20% to 51% better reflects Vocal’s role in our operating structure, our capital markets strategy, and the value we believe can be created for shareholders.’

Vocal currently reaches approximately 30 million monthly unique visitors and supports nearly 10,000 premium creators. The platform is within several months of launching Vocal 3.0, a major evolution incorporating AI-enabled infrastructure, enhanced creator tools, improved content distribution, and expanded monetization capabilities. According to the company, these advancements will allow Vocal to scale beyond its existing audience while strengthening its role as a core technology, media, and brand-services asset.

Beyond its creator platform, Vocal has expanded its agency and brand-services business, integrating human editorial judgment with AI-enabled processes and audience data to help brands connect with authentic audiences. Frommer noted that this operating relationship gives Creatd a practical way to evaluate companies before pursuing deeper strategic opportunities, including potential M&A transactions.

‘Vocal has evolved into more than a publishing platform,’ Frommer added. ‘It has become a combined creator, media, technology, and brand-services asset. Vocal is also becoming the tip of the spear through which Creatd identifies, acquires, and integrates advanced processes, technology relationships, and AI-enabled development capabilities.’

In a separate update, Creatd announced that the record date for its annual shareholder meeting has been changed from April 17, 2026, to May 26, 2026. The virtual meeting, previously scheduled for May 21, will now be held on June 25, 2026. Shareholders of record as of May 26 will be entitled to vote. The company said the updated timing will better align milestones with the meeting and broader corporate initiatives.

Creatd recently completed its 2025 audit and submitted an amended draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC, advancing its planned uplisting. The Flyte transaction strengthened the balance sheet, providing additional flexibility as the company pursues its capital markets strategy. The company will continue to provide updates on its SEC process, Vocal equity realignment, corporate reorganization, and Vocal 3.0 launch.
