Arizona Tribune - Labor Smart, Inc. (OTCID:LTNC) Retires 717 Million Common Shares and 20 Preferred H Shares

JACKSON, WY / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2025 / Labor Smart, Inc. (OTCID:LTNC) today announced the retirement of approximately 717 million common shares and 20 Preferred H shares to treasury. This action marks one of the most substantial share retirements in Company history and underscores LTNC's commitment to reducing dilution, improving its capital structure, and creating long-term shareholder value.

In addition to the share retirement, the Company has eliminated more than $2.3 million in legacy obligations by retiring prior debt instruments, promissory notes, and private placement memoranda, consolidating them into a single convertible note. This decisive action simplifies LTNC's balance sheet, removes historic overhangs, and provides a cleaner financial foundation to support growth.

Leadership Commentary

Brad Wyatt, CEO of LTNC, stated:

"Since the first countdown related to the Adios announcement, neither LTNC's C-level officers nor members of the Board of Directors have sold any of their personal holdings in LTNC. Recent regulatory disclosures required the filing of supplemental statements to position certain shares based on individual portfolio management. To be clear, as of today's date and dating back to July's Adios announcement, no sales of LTNC stock have been made by LTNC's C-level officers or Board members.

This statement does not intend to limit the individual right of officers or directors to manage their personal portfolios in the future, provided all transactions comply with regulatory requirements. However, it is important to note that from July to the present, none of the selling activity in LTNC stock has involved the Company's Board or C-level executive leadership.

The social media narrative suggesting LTNC's leadership has used the stock as an 'ATM' or orchestrated hype for personal gain is unfounded and inconsistent with the facts. On the contrary, LTNC has executed one of the largest share retirements in its history, eliminated over $2.3 million in legacy obligations, and consolidated debt into a cleaner, more sustainable structure. Further, the recent retirement of 20 Preferred H shares, equivalent to two billion common shares, approximately 10% of the outstanding share count, permanently removes a significant source of potential dilution. These actions demonstrate alignment with shareholders and a long-term commitment to value creation, not short-term opportunism. The Board and the C-level team remain fully aligned in advancing LTNC's transformation plan, committed to continued transparency, accountability, and shareholder-first reforms."

Tom Zarro, Board Member of LTNC, added:

"The Board has been aligned on bold, shareholder-first actions, and this is one of the most impactful to date. Retiring this massive block of shares and removing historic obligations marks a turning point for LTNC. Investors should know that more reforms are underway, and the Company's trajectory has never been stronger."

Share Structure Reform & Road Ahead
This announcement is a milestone in LTNC's broader share structure reform initiative, designed to:

• Reduce the outstanding share count and dilution,

• Retire and consolidate legacy obligations,

• Increase financial flexibility, and

• Position the Company for sustainable growth across its expanding portfolio of consumer brands.

Management confirmed that additional measures are in progress and will be announced in the coming weeks, reinforcing LTNC's focus on transparency, accountability, and shareholder value creation.
