Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to the statement regarding the future plans and potential success of the streaming services under the custom-built content delivery network and related matters. Although the Company believes
that its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of
operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by, or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or
“intends” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations that the Company
describes in its forward-looking statements. There may be events in the future that the Company is not accurately able to predict, or over which the Company has no control.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, the
Company disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our assumptions and projections change, except where applicable law may otherwise require us to do so. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Readers should not put undue
reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements herein.
Important factors that may affect these projections or expectations include, but are not limited to: statements about the ability of the Company to realize the benefits from the business combination; the ability of the Company to maintain the listing
of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq; ability to realize the benefit of the streaming services, its cost effectiveness, performance, stability, and future financial performance following the business combination; the impact of the outcome of any
known or unknown litigation or other legal proceedings; the ability of the Company to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; expectations regarding future expenditures of the Company; the future
revenue and effect on gross margins of the Company; the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees, and key personnel of the Company; the ability of the Company to compete effectively in a competitive industry; the impact of
the ongoing legal proceedings in which President Donald J. Trump is involved on the Company’s corporate reputation and brand; expectations concerning the relationships and actions of the Company and its affiliates with third parties; the short- and
long-term effects of the consummation of the business combination on the Company’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; the impact of future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in the Company’s industry; the
ability to locate and acquire complementary products or product candidates and integrate those into the Company’s business; Truth Social, the Company’s initial product, and its ability to generate users and advertisers; future arrangements with, or
investments in, other entities or associations; competition and competitive pressures from other companies in the industries in which the Company operates; changes in domestic and global general economic and macro-economic conditions and the
volatility of the price of common stock that may result from sales of shares by Yorkville or other shares we previously registered for resale. For a discussion of these important factors and other risks, please read the information set forth under
the caption “Risk Factors” in our registration statement on Form S-1 and other documents filed with the SEC, which describe additional factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The Company’s SEC
filings are available publicly on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business, or the extent
to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 99.1
Trump Media Announces Release of Truth+ Streaming on Amazon Fire TV
Truth Social TV streaming app now available for at-home Fire TV sets
SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 23, 2024 -- Trump Media & Technology Group (Nasdaq: DJT) ("TMTG" or the "Company"), operator of the social media platform Truth Social,
announced today that it has successfully launched an app for Amazon Fire TVs to access the Truth+ streaming platform.
Now available in the Amazon Appstore, Truth+ offers TV programming focusing on news, entertainment, faith-based content, weather, documentaries, children's
content, and more, featuring both linear TV channels and Video on Demand (VOD).
Previously released for iOS devices, Android devices, Apple TVs, Android TVs, and on the Web, Truth+ enhances the limited streaming option now available on the
Truth Social platform by adding additional content and numerous new features including VOD, live TV rewind with visual thumbnails, catch-up TV for up to seven days, network DVR, and a Spanish language interface option.
Fire TV owners can now download the Truth+ app directly to their TV sets from the Amazon Appstore, then sign in by using their mobile phones to scan a QR code
from their TV sets or by using a passcode. Users without a Truth Social account can create one during the sign in process.
"Our TV streaming rollout continues with Fire TV,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. "It’s the latest addition to our fast-moving expansion of Truth Social as a
beachhead for free speech on the Internet and a central hub for news, entertainment, and discussion.”
In the near future, TMTG plans to introduce Truth+ native apps for additional connected TV platforms including Samsung, LG, and Roku.
TMTG anticipates that, as the rollout progresses, the Company will continue to stress and beta test the streaming technology while collecting input from users and
to announce when testing is finished and the rollout is complete.
TMTG's ultra-fast streaming technology is powered through its custom-designed, multi-site Content Delivery Network (CDN) using the Company's own servers, routers,
and software stack, created with the goal of rendering the service uncancellable by Big Tech.
About TMTG
The mission of TMTG is to end Big Tech's assault on free speech by opening up the Internet and giving people their voices back. TMTG operates Truth Social, a
social media platform established as a safe harbor for free expression amid increasingly harsh censorship by Big Tech corporations.
