Company’s common stock to begin trading on Nasdaq on Sept. 10, 2026

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stewards, Inc. (OTCID: SWRD) (“Stewards” or the “Company”), a diversified financial platform spanning private credit, real assets and technology-enabled financial infrastructure, today announced that it has received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company’s common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under its existing ticker symbol, “SWRD,” at market open on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, through a direct uplisting from the OTCID Market. The uplisting does not involve a concurrent public offering or issuance of new shares by the Company. Commencement of trading remains subject to the effectiveness of the Company’s Form 8-A and satisfaction of customary Nasdaq listing conditions.

The Nasdaq uplisting marks an important milestone in Stewards’ evolution as the Company continues to build an integrated financial platform spanning private credit, real assets and technology.

“This is an important moment for Stewards and the result of a tremendous amount of work across our entire organization,” said Shaun Quin, Chief Executive Officer of Stewards, Inc. “Our move to Nasdaq represents much more than a change in where our shares trade. It reflects the progress we have made building the Company, strengthening our leadership and governance, and positioning Stewards for its next stage of growth.”

Stewards’ operating platform is anchored by its private credit business, which provides short-duration revenue-based financing, primarily through merchant cash advances, to small and midsized businesses. Since 2020, the platform has originated more than $153 million in cumulative direct and syndicated funding across more than 10,000 small businesses.

The Company has also expanded into income-producing real assets, adding diversification to its broader platform, while continuing to invest in technology and automation designed to improve origination, underwriting and operating efficiency. Stewards is also evaluating longer-term digital financial infrastructure opportunities as part of its broader technology strategy.

“We have always believed that great businesses are built by taking a long-term approach to capital, relationships and value creation,” said Glen Steward, Chairman of the Board of Stewards, Inc. “Nasdaq gives Stewards a larger platform from which to continue building. This milestone broadens our visibility in the U.S. capital markets and introduces Stewards to a much wider community of investors as we execute our long-term strategy.”

The Nasdaq listing is expected to broaden Stewards’ visibility among institutional and retail investors and represents another step in the Company’s continued development in the U.S. public markets.

The uplisting does not involve a concurrent public offering by the Company.
