(OTC Pink: CBDD) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a strategic review of three merger candidates operating within the artificial intelligence (AI) industry.

The Company is specifically focused on businesses that are actively developing and deploying AI-powered tools designed to reduce time spent on daily operational activities across multiple industries, including accounting, consulting, business management, social media marketing, and other commercial sectors. CBD of Denver is particularly interested in companies that combine the power of AI with a human touch — solutions that augment human capabilities rather than replace them, delivering meaningful productivity gains while preserving the judgment, creativity, and relationship-driven qualities that define great businesses.

The Company believes the convergence of AI-driven automation and enterprise productivity represents one of the most transformative investment opportunities of this decade. CBD of Denver's leadership sees significant shareholder value in pivoting toward this high-growth sector through a strategic combination with a well-positioned AI company.
