Creatd, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTD) announced two corporate updates on May 14, 2026, that are integral to its broader reorganization and planned uplisting strategy. The company’s Board of Directors and the requisite shareholders of Vocal, Inc. have approved a targeted equity realignment and repurchase initiative designed to restore Creatd’s majority ownership of Vocal. Additionally, Creatd updated the dates for its upcoming annual shareholder meeting and related record date.
The approved Vocal transactions are expected to increase Creatd’s ownership position from approximately 20% to 51% on a post-transaction basis. This initiative follows the completed sale of Fly Flyte, Inc. and represents the next step in the company’s corporate reorganization, SEC re-registration process, and planned uplisting to a national exchange. The transaction includes the repurchase of certain Vocal common shares and Series A Preferred equity interests from current and former stakeholders, to be completed at a valuation based on Vocal’s previously established independent 409A valuation.
Jeremy Frommer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Creatd, stated, “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. 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 is a creator-focused platform that supports digital publishing, storytelling, audience development, and creator monetization. The platform currently reaches approximately 30 million monthly unique visitors and supports nearly 10,000 premium creators, forming a significant foundation for Creatd’s next phase of growth. Vocal is also within several months of launching Vocal 3.0, the next major evolution of the platform, which focuses on AI-enabled infrastructure, enhanced creator tools, improved content distribution, and expanded monetization capabilities. The company believes these advancements will allow Vocal to scale beyond its existing audience and creator base while strengthening its role as a core technology, media, and brand-services asset.
Beyond its creator platform, Vocal has expanded its agency and brand-services side of the business. Through the integration of human editorial judgment, AI-enabled processes, audience data, and content infrastructure, Vocal works with brands seeking to connect with authentic, measurable, and product-relevant audiences. This operating relationship also gives Creatd a way to evaluate companies before pursuing deeper strategic opportunities, including potential M&A transactions.
Creatd also announced that the record date for its annual shareholder meeting has been changed from April 17, 2026, to May 26, 2026, and the virtual meeting, previously scheduled for May 21, 2026, will now be held on June 25, 2026. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 26, 2026, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. Frommer noted, “We are continuing to complete the necessary steps associated with our SEC re-registration process, audited financial statements, corporate reorganization, and shareholder meeting preparation. We believe the updated timing will allow the Company to better align these milestones with our annual meeting and broader corporate initiatives.”
The company recently completed its 2025 audit and submitted an amended draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC. More information is available in the company’s newsroom at https://tinyurl.com/crtdnewsroom.
