Arizona Tribune - cbdMD Completes Acquisition of the Operating Assets and Brands of Twinlab, including Twinlab, Reserveage and Metabolife Brands, Expanding Into Broader Wellness

CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / November 2, 2026 / cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American:YCBD) ("cbdMD" or the "Company"), a leading wellness company, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of the operating assets of Twinlab, including the Twinlab, Reserveage, Metabolife and ResVitale brands. The assets were acquired through a Florida Chapter 727 assignment for the benefit of creditors proceeding.

The acquisition brings together brands with decades of history in vitamins and nutritional supplements with cbdMD's portfolio of cbdMD, Paw CBD, Oasis and Bluebird Botanicals. The combined portfolio broadens cbdMD's reach across retail and direct-to-consumer channels and meaningfully reduces the Company's reliance on hemp-derived products.

Strategic Highlights

• Legacy brands with established trust. Twinlab, Reserveage and Metabolife are recognized names in nutritional supplements, with long-standing relationships across national and regional retailers.
• Diversification beyond hemp. The acquired brands operate outside the hemp category, reducing the Company's exposure to changes in federal and state hemp regulation.
• A strong base business to build on. The acquired brands carry an established product range and retail footprint that the Company can build on from day one.
• Untapped marketing potential. The acquired brands have received limited marketing investment in recent years. cbdMD's in-house creative and performance marketing team, which has built and repositioned consumer brands across retail and e-commerce, will now support them.
• Innovation in the pipeline. The Company expects to introduce new products and refreshed brand experiences across the portfolio over the coming months.

"Closing this transaction is a defining moment for cbdMD," said Ronan Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of cbdMD. "Twinlab, a brand established in 1960s, is one of the most iconic names in American wellness, Metabolife was a billion-dollar weight loss brand, while Reserveage carries real consumer recognition. Together with our existing brands, we believe we have a portfolio that runs from the fundamentals to the frontier of wellness, built around one promise: More Life in Every Day."

"Twinlab is a brand with a long-standing reputation for quality, and our team is excited to bring our brand-building experience to its next chapter of growth," Kennedy continued. "Just as important, this acquisition diversifies our business beyond hemp at a time of regulatory uncertainty in that category. We are energized by the work ahead and by the innovation we plan to bring to market."

The Company plans to provide further detail on integration progress and its outlook for the combined business in its upcoming periodic reports and earnings communications.
