About Warrant Exercise and the Registration Statement
The cash exercise of warrants became available after the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared effective the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 on June 18, 2024 (“Registration Statement,” File No. 333-278678). If all warrants covered by the Registration Statement are exercised for cash, TMTG may receive up to an aggregate of approximately $247 million in proceeds. Investors interested in exercising their warrants should contact their registered broker.
The offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement may only be made by means of a prospectus. The Registration Statement and prospectus may be accessed through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. A copy of the prospectus related to the offering may be obtained from Broadridge Financial Solutions, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY 11717, or by telephone at (800) 353-0103.
The listing of an individual as a “selling securityholder” in the Registration Statement does not mean such individual or entity will sell their shares or is planning to sell their shares. Notwithstanding registration of securities on the Registration Statement, TMTG’s directors and officers, its affiliate President Donald J. Trump, and certain other securityholders will remain subject to a lockup period or otherwise restricted from selling any shares at this time.
Non-Solicitation
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
