COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 23, 2024 / Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company"), an industry leader in the premium vapor products space, today announced that on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 12:00 noon ET, the Company will make a presentation to investors at the LD Micro Main Event conference at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Santa Monica, California.

"I am proud to report: Charlie's will introduce the Company's highly anticipated SBX Disposables to the US market in November," announced Henry Sicignano, Charlie's President. "In a focus group survey of adult consumers who vape, Charlie's SBX Disposables were overwhelming preferred over Juul tobacco-flavored vapes. Of 306 survey participants, 287 preferred SBX over Juul!"

Ryan Stump, Charlie's Chief Operating Officer explained, "Featuring nicotine substitute "Metatine™" in lieu of tobacco-based or synthetically derived nicotine, SBX perfectly replicates the sensation of vaping a traditional nicotine disposable. By combining Metatine with Charlie's award-winning flavors, SBX provides a great way for adults to enjoy the taste and sensation of traditional flavored nicotine products… in a distinctive new product that is legal across most of the United States.SBX represents the single largest, most important commercial opportunity in Charlie's history."

In addition to the SBX product line, Charlie's is continuing to invest in its traditional nicotine-based products. The Company has invested more than $7MM on more than 700 Premarket Tobacco Application ("PMTA") submissions with the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products - for the Company's synthetic nicotine e-liquid and disposable products, as well as plant-derived nicotine e-liquid products. Obtaining one or more marketing orders from the FDA for any of these products could provide the Company with a very substantial competitive advantage in the vapor products marketplace.

Investors, and others who are invited to attend the LD Micro conference, may request one-on-one meetings through the respective conference hosts or by contacting the Charlie's Holdings investor relations team via IR@charliesholdings.com.
