Stockbridge, Georgia, is entering an exciting new chapter with the renaming of its premier entertainment destination to the VyStar Amphitheater at The Bridge. This partnership between VyStar Credit Union and the City of Stockbridge represents more than a naming opportunity—it's a long-term investment in the region's economic growth, cultural enrichment, and community vitality. More Than a Name—A Commitment to Community The newly named VyStar Amphitheater at The Bridge is a 3,600-seat, state-of-the-art outdoor venue that has hosted an array of acclaimed performers since opening in 2021. With its renaming, VyStar strengthens its presence in Georgia and underscores its mission to 'Do Good' by creating inclusive spaces that bring people together. 'This amphitheater represents more than just a venue; it symbolizes our dedication to being an integral part of the Stockbridge and Metro Atlanta community,' said Janean Armstrong, VyStar's SVP/Georgia Market President. 'We're proud to partner with the city to foster economic opportunity and cultural experiences for all.' Local Economic Impact and Job Creation The investment is already bearing fruit. The amphitheater is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors each year, boosting local tourism and generating new business for nearby restaurants, shops, and hotels. The partnership also supports job creation—both through events hosted at the venue and in VyStar's growing regional footprint, including its Stockbridge branch that opened in 2023. VyStar employs a dedicated community engagement team focused on identifying local nonprofits, schools, and service providers to expand its impact across Metro Atlanta. Perks for Members and Military Families As part of its commitment to making arts and entertainment more accessible, VyStar offers exclusive benefits to its members at the amphitheater: • Pre-sale access to select concerts and events • Discounted tickets on qualifying shows • Dedicated VyStar member entrance for faster entry • Preferred seating opportunities at participating performances Additionally, VyStar honors its military roots by offering special discounts for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families, making it easier for those who serve to enjoy high-quality live entertainment. The Ribbon Cutting Celebration From food truck festivals to live music under the stars, the VyStar Amphitheater at The Bridge is quickly becoming a vibrant cultural hub. The official ribbon cutting celebration featured a live performance by Stockbridge's 'World-Renowned' Wolfpack Marching Band of Woodland High, giveaways and a Financial Fitness Quiz Show, a fun, educational activity that reflects VyStar's focus on empowering members through financial wellness. The winner received two VIP tickets to the 2025 season. A Model for Public-Private Partnership City leaders see the VyStar partnership as a blueprint for smart investment. 'VyStar's expansion into the Georgia area is a tremendous win for the City of Stockbridge,' said Stockbridge Mayor Anthony S. Ford. 'The team's commitment to community building and financial wellness aligns perfectly with our city's values. The VyStar Amphitheater at The Bridge will not only enhance our local arts scene but also stimulate economic growth by attracting visitors and residents. We are excited to welcome VyStar and look forward to the positive impact the business will have throughout our community for years to come.' VyStar's commitment extends beyond the stage. Its ongoing sponsorship of citywide initiatives from Veteran's Day events to financial education workshops in partnership with organizations like Frontline Housing, demonstrates a genuine desire to uplift the community. In 2024 alone, VyStar donated more than $7 million to over 400 nonprofits, and employees contributed more than 39,000 volunteer hours including efforts across Georgia that support financial education, housing stability, and youth mentorship programs. Looking Ahead As Stockbridge continues to grow, VyStar's investment in The Bridge sets the stage for a more connected, creative, and inclusive future. The amphitheater is more than a venue, it's a gathering place, a catalyst for opportunity, and a symbol of what's possible when purpose-driven organizations partner with purpose-driven cities.

Vystar Introduces Ultrasoft Latex Mattress Topper with Vytex 55 Density Latex into the Vytex.com Store

Ultrasoft 55 density Vytex foam topper created with breakthrough proprietary molding technology Provides luxuriously soft supportive comfort, resilience and breathability Transforms too-hard mattresses into snuggly comfort, ideal for pressure point relief Produced from all natural, sustainably sourced Vytex latex for long life, yet completely biodegradable. Worcester, MA, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vystar Corporation (OTCQB: VYST) announced today introduced ultrasoft 55 density natural rubber latex mattress topper. The new Vytex ultrasoft 55 density topper uses proprietary molding technology that overcomes the typical challenges of latex foam hardening and stratifying into multiple densities as large items are manufactured, (equivalent to 14 ILD). Previously, our consumers could only enjoy the decadent softness of 55 density latex in smaller items such as pillows and small cushions. 'Being able to produce ultrasoft 55 density latex sheets is a gamechanger for Vystar,' stated Jamie Rotman, CEO of Vystar. 'our consumers can now add a 55 density ultrasoft pure Vytex latex foam topper to their firm mattress and enjoy the gentle embrace of this light as air breathable topper while still benefiting from the support of their existing mattress. With Vytex latex toppers, virtually all the latex proteins have been removed to create a stronger, cleaner, naturally fresh smelling foam with the added advantage of years of buoyant resilience and natural anti-microbial properties of all-natural latex without the dangerous off-gassing and short usable life of petrochemical laden memory foams.' 'Consumers have been asking for years to have their latex mattress toppers as soft and comfortable as their latex pillows and now, thanks to breakthrough technology, we are able to produce Vytex foam sheets as large as a California king in 3-inch thickness all in a beautifully uniform ultrasoft 55 density,' stated Jamie Rotman. Vytex ultra soft 55 density toppers will offer a tremendous advantage for those who experience pressure point pain or spend extended time in bed due to medical conditions. Vytex® 100% Natural Latex Foam are now available on in 1 to 3 inch thicknesses for king, Calif. king, queen, double, twin, and twin XL sizes.

Second Circuit Affirms Dismissal of Complaint Against Vystar In the Case Of EMA Financial LLC v. Vystar Corp.

Boston, MA, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vystar ® Corporation (OTCQB: VYST) On November 27, 2024, the New York federal district court in the case EMA Financial LLC v. Vystar Corp ., 19-cv-1545 (GWG) issued a first of its kind court victory for a micro-cap issuer, Vystar, denying EMA Financial's $4,226,187 claim for damages as it related to a toxic convertible note issue. While the district court did not grant Vystar's counterclaim for damages, in addition to dismissing EMA Financial's complaint the district court awarded Vystar legal fees. Both parties appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. EMA Financial sought to have the appellate court reverse the district court's dismissal of the complaint. Vystar opposed the appeal and further cross-appealed seeking to have the appellate court reverse that portion of the decision denying Vystar's counterclaims for damages associated with EMA Financial's breach of the terms of the convertible note You can click on this link to see Vystar's appeal.. On July 17, 2025, the Second Circuit issued its decision, affirming the district court's decision. You can click on the link to read the brief. While Vystar was disappointed that the Second Circuit did not reverse that portion of the district court's decision denying Vystar's counterclaim, the result of this decision sends the case back to the district court for a determination of legal fees to be awarded to Vystar. Vystar has accrued on its books approximately one million dollars from 2018 to date. Vystar wishes to take a moment to thank all of those involved in the work associated with this litigation. No issuer had previously succeeded in fighting back against EMA Financial's breach of contract claims on these convertible notes. Leading this charge for Vystar was its litigation counsel, Barry Bordetsky of The Law Offices of Barry M. Bordetsky. Barry's work was strategic and methodical, nothing short of a full-fledged fight for Vystar in this David versus Goliath battle. It's rare to find a litigator so dedicated and talented that is willing to work with a small company, going above and beyond what was required in the fight for Vystar. Without such counsel protecting Vystar, the company very well may have fallen into similar circumstances of the other the micro-cap issuers sued by EMA Financial – – having judgments issued against them.

Vystar Launches New Website and Unveils Brand Refresh www.vytex.com

Boston, MA, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vystar® Corporation (OTCQB: VYST) Vytex manufacturer Vystar has today launched a newly-redesigned website to work alongside the new brand refresh and overall digital strategy. The completely redesigned site has a clean, responsive design and improved navigation, bringing a new look and feel to the company whilst still injecting their core values. Vystar Corporation CEO, Jamie Rotman stated: 'We're excited to further engage with our customers and improve the consumer experience as they interact with our company. Our new revitalized website includes a new design that better reflects our evolution over the last several years and who we are today. We're constantly working on new technologies to enhance the entire sleep journey and we believe our new website reflects that.' Vytex® is the healthiest, purest and topper and pillow material offering the ultimate in comfort and durability features: Retains bouncy resilience for decades vs 3–6-year lifespan of other foam toppers and pillows Provides full body support while easing pressure points: Buoyantly floats your body for easy movement, eliminating saggy, overly soft spots Has 99.8% of proteins and impurities removed to be virtually allergen-free Vytex deproteinization process creates a stronger, more durable foam Breathability ensures sweat-free comfort, resists moisture absorption and bacteria Naturally repels bedbugs and dust mites Isolates movement from others for a more restful, uninterrupted sleep. Won't discolor like petrochemical based memory foam or polyurethane foam Vytex's Environmentally-friendly features: Sustainably produced and 100% biodegradable, Eco-friendly – uses less water and chemicals during manufacture. Free of traditional latex odor without other foams' masking fragrances Free of VOCs, phthalates and BPA common to petrochemical foams Naturally brighter and whiter latex – no dyes or bleaching needed 'After decades in the furniture business, I can confidently state that Vytex is far superior to memory foam, polyurethane and traditional latex foam for mattress toppers,' noted Jamie Rotman, CEO of Vystar. 'Memory foams have harmful off-gassing, and absorb body heat and moisture, creating a petri dish of bacteria and smells. Vytex retains its resilience and bright clean white color for decades of use, long after other foams lose their buoyancy and support capability -- often within the first year. You simply can't beat Vytex for comfort, durability, eco-friendliness and long-term value. The Vytex topper is the perfect solution for consumers who want to make their mattresses more luxurious and comfortable or get a few more years use from their too firm or too saggy mattress – all for a very nominal cost.' Vytex is currently used in multiple mattress lines, toppers, industrial adhesives, apparel padding and threads, shoes, sports equipment and electrical gloves. Vystar continues development of new Vytex formulations and is seeking additional manufacturing and development partners for numerous products including condoms, clothing, medical supplies, household products, sports equipment, shoes/sneakers, and industrial products.
