LAKE FOREST, Calif., April 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- XFit Brands, Inc. (OTC: XFTB), a global supplier of fitness and MMA equipment sold at retail and fitness outlets worldwide whose brands include XFit Brands®, Throwdown®, and Transformations™, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a one-for-five forward split of the Company's common stock and a proportional increase in the number of XFit Brands common shares authorized from 250 million to 1.25 billion.

Concurrent with finalization of the one-for–five forward split, each shareholder of record at the close of business on April 14, 2016 will receive four additional shares for every outstanding share held on the record date, and trading will begin on a split-adjusted basis on April 15, 2016. Prior to the split, we have 4,118,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Following the forward split, we will have 20,592,500 shares issued and outstanding.

XFit Brands recently improved both top line revenue and gross margins while expanding distribution to sales in now more than 21 countries around the world. The recent expansion of the portfolio to a broader functional fitness line enabled the company to provide a one-stop shop for major gym operators, and as such the company has been able to secure numerous new customers. The Company became public via an organic S-1 initiative and approved for trading just recently in November 2015. It intends to utilize its public market structure to springboard the Company to reach its full potential.

Dave Vautrin, Chief Executive Officer of XFit Brands and Throwdown Industries commented, "We are excited to take this important step to make our shares more accessible to a broader investor population and expand our shareholder base. We expect to increase awareness of XFit's and Throwdown's tremendous progress and growth potential in what is a very exciting and rapidly transforming industry."
