CEA Industries ( (BNC) ) just unveiled an update.

On December 26, 2025, CEA Industries Inc.’s board adopted a stockholder rights agreement and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding common share and a corresponding number of rights tied to certain warrants, with each right enabling the purchase of a fraction of a newly designated Series C Junior Participating Preferred Share at a set exercise price. The move, announced in a December 28, 2025 press release, was implemented in response to the formation of the YZi Labs Group, which reported owning 7% of the common stock with warrants that could increase its stake to as much as 34.2% on a diluted basis, and is designed as a defensive measure to deter any investor from accumulating 15% or more of the company’s stock without board approval while not blocking consent solicitations or board-approved M&A. The rights plan includes typical “flip-in” and “flip-over” provisions that significantly dilute an acquiring person exceeding the threshold, while allowing the board to redeem or exchange the rights under certain conditions, and is set to expire no later than December 26, 2026. In connection with the rights plan, the board also approved a Certificate of Designation for 200,000 shares of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, which was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and became effective on December 29, 2025, establishing the terms of the preferred shares that underpin the new rights.

The most recent analyst rating on (BNC) stock is a Buy with a $29.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CEA Industries stock, see the BNC Stock Forecast page.
