Las Vegas, NV, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alternative Ballistics Corporation (OTCQB: ALBC) (“ALBC” or the “Company”), an innovator in ballistic and personal defense solutions, today announced that trading of its common stock has commenced on the OTCQB market, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s growth and transition into the public markets.

With trading now active, ALBC is expanding its visibility within the investment community while advancing its commercial strategy. The Company is also pleased to announce a key step toward commercialization with the completion of final packaging for its flagship consumer product, The Home Defense^™. ALBC has initiated its first production order of 500 units, signaling its transition from development to market entry readiness.

The Company’s initial go-to-market strategy focuses on targeted distribution through privately owned gun ranges and certified Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) training providers - channels that provide direct access to engaged and qualified civilian consumers.

Operationally, the Company is in the final stages of completing its 2025 annual audit and remains committed to maintaining full reporting compliance. Management believes that consistent execution, transparency, and milestone achievement will be key drivers of long-term shareholder value.

Vanessa Luna, Chairperson of Alternative Ballistics Corporation, stated, “The commencement of trading marks an important step for ALBC as we enter the public markets with a clear strategy and tangible progress. We are launching with a product ready for market, defined distribution channels, and a focused execution plan. As we advance commercialization of The Home Defense^™ and expand our partnerships, we remain committed to building long-term shareholder value through disciplined execution.”
