BBIG Vinco Ventures Inc

Vinco Ventures, Inc. (NASDAQ:BBIG), a digital media and content technologies holding company (“Vinco Ventures,” “Vinco,” or the “Company”), today announced that, due to contractual and regulatory conditions, the Company’s Board of Directors has decided to delay the distribution date for the previously announced spin-off of Cryptyde, Inc. (“Cryptyde”).

On May 5, 2022, the Company announced that each Vinco stockholder of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2022 would receive one share of Cryptyde common stock for every ten shares of Vinco common stock held and that such share dividend was expected to be distributed on or about May 27, 2022. The Company currently expects the distribution date for the Cryptyde spin-off to occur on or about the end of the second quarter of 2022, subject to certain contractual and regulatory conditions being met or waived.

For clarification regarding the record date and distribution date as it relates to the Cryptyde dividend, each Vinco stockholder of record on the record date will receive one share of Cryptyde common stock for every 10 shares of Vinco common stock held through the distribution date. However, if a stockholder sells shares of Vinco common stock after the record date they will not receive the Cryptyde dividend. Only holders of shares of Vinco common stock on the distribution date that were outstanding on the record date will be entitled to receive the Cryptyde dividend. Following the separation, Vinco stockholders will also receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Cryptyde common stock that those holders would have received after application of the 10:1 distribution ratio. No action is required by Vinco stockholders to receive the shares of Cryptyde common stock in the dividend distribution.

Cryptyde’s Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “Form 10”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 16, 2022. The Form 10 contains information regarding the spin-off of Cryptyde as a publicly traded company and conditions to complete the separation. As discussed in the Preliminary Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 10, Cryptyde is required to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “S-1 Registration Statement”) to register for resale certain shares of common stock held by investors in Cryptyde or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of securities held by investors in Cryptyde. The Form S-1 Registration Statement was filed by Cryptyde on May 9, 2022, and must be declared effective by the SEC on or before the distribution date of the spin-off.

After the separation, Cryptyde common stock is expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the stock ticker symbol “TYDE” and Vinco will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the stock ticker symbol “BBIG.”
