Creatd, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTD) on Thursday announced two significant corporate updates aimed at advancing its reorganization and planned uplisting to a national exchange. The company’s board and Vocal, Inc. shareholders have approved an equity realignment and repurchase initiative designed to restore Creatd’s majority ownership of Vocal from approximately 20% to 51%. Additionally, the company updated the dates for its annual shareholder meeting, moving the record date to May 26, 2026, and the virtual meeting to June 25, 2026.
The Vocal equity realignment involves the repurchase of certain Vocal common shares and Series A Preferred equity interests from current and former stakeholders, based on Vocal’s previously established independent 409A valuation. This move follows the completed sale of Fly Flyte, Inc. and represents a strategic step in Creatd’s broader corporate reorganization, SEC re-registration, and uplisting objectives.
“We believe establishing majority ownership of Vocal is an important strategic step for Creatd as we continue advancing our uplisting objectives and broader restructuring initiatives,” said Jeremy Frommer, Chairman and CEO of Creatd. “Vocal has always been foundational to the Company. Increasing our ownership from approximately 20% to 51% better reflects Vocal’s role in our operating structure, our capital markets strategy, and the value we believe can be created for shareholders.”
Vocal, a creator-focused platform supporting digital publishing and monetization, currently reaches about 30 million monthly unique visitors and supports nearly 10,000 premium creators. The platform is approaching the launch of Vocal 3.0, which will incorporate AI-enabled infrastructure, enhanced creator tools, and expanded monetization capabilities. The company believes these advancements will allow Vocal to scale beyond its existing audience and strengthen its role as a core technology and media asset.
Beyond its creator platform, Vocal has expanded its agency and brand-services business, working with brands to connect with authentic audiences through human editorial judgment and AI-enabled processes. This operating relationship also provides Creatd a pipeline for evaluating potential M&A opportunities, creating a natural positive-selection process.
The annual shareholder meeting will address proposals related to strategic initiatives, governance, and future direction. Creatd recently completed its 2025 audit and submitted an amended draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC, marking progress in its uplisting process. The company expects to continue providing updates as it advances its SEC process, Vocal equity realignment, and Vocal 3.0 launch plan.
