\nIssues Letter to Board of Empery Digital Inc.
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

NEW YORK, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tice P. Brown, a 9% stockholder of Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:EMPD) sent the following letter to the Board of Directors of Empery Digital Inc.<\/p>\n

February 3, 2026<\/p>\n

To the Board of Directors of Empery Digital Inc.<\/p>\n

I personally own 9.0% of Empery Digital Inc. I intended to passively own this security and enjoy the convergence of its price to its underlying NAV. Due to recent interactions with its CEO Ryan Lane, and the outrageous entrenchment of management by a poison pill today, that intention has changed.<\/p>\n

\n
\n I am calling for the immediate resignation of Ryan Lane, the immediate replacement of the entirety of the Board of Directors of Empery Digital Inc, and the immediate sale of all Bitcoin with the proceeds immediately returned to shareholders.<\/u>
\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

After my 13G was filed on Friday, January 23rd<\/sup>, Ryan Lane invited me to Empery\u2019s office on the afternoon of January 28th<\/sup>. After an incoherent rant, Ryan Lane left the meeting. I then had a productive, friendly, and long meeting with COO Tim Silver. At the end of that long meeting, to all our surprise, Ryan Lane appeared with Rockefeller Center security to performatively drag me out of the meeting. I suspect this was to create content for his Twitter feed.<\/u> It appears the corporate Twitter account has since removed this foolish video. We have it saved.<\/p>\n

\n
\n The poison pill put in place today is offensive, transparently self-serving, and has no purpose but to block shareholders from the return of their capital while management extracts compensation.<\/u>
\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The Board is derelict in its duties allowing embarrassing, unprofessional mismanagement of our company. This CEO and the Board in its entirety must resign immediately.<\/p>\n
