SINGAPORE, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hotel101 Global Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: HBNB) (“HBNB,” “Hotel101 Global” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has called for an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on or about April 22, 2026.

The purpose of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is to secure shareholder approval for amendments to the Company’s share capital structure, including the increase of authorized share capital by creation of a new class of preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) and adoption of the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company to reflect the change in authorized share capital in connection with the Company’s capital raising strategy, including the proposed issuance of up to US$300 million in Series A Preferred Shares and detachable warrants or other similar securities exercisable or convertible into the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Proposed Transaction”) as previously disclosed by the Company on January 23, 2026. The Proposed Transaction remains subject to applicable legal and regulatory restrictions, required corporate approvals, entry into definitive agreements, satisfying (or obtaining the waiver of) on a timely basis the conditions in the definitive agreements expected to be entered into, relevant approvals from and required registrations and filings with relevant regulatory authorities and other factors and conditions. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will occur at all.

For 2026, the Company is targeting to further boost its strategic initiatives in securing commitments for a substantial portfolio of rooms across multiple countries, primarily via joint ventures and licensing agreements with established local partners. This approach is designed to enable efficient, scalable growth while leveraging regional expertise.

These milestones form a key part of Hotel101 Global's vision towards its long-term goal to establish and operate one million Hotel101 rooms across 100 countries.

Further details regarding the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will be set forth in a notice of extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be made available to shareholders in due course.
