Venu Holding Enters Exclusive Three-Year National Expansion Agreement With Ryan Credits And Incentives Practice

Three-year agreement will drive development of premium live entertainment campuses, ultra-lux amphitheaters, and intimate concert halls in high-growth U.S. markets

Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE:VENU), a developer, owner, and operator of upscale live music venues and premium hospitality destinations, today announced an exclusive three-year national expansion agreement with Ryan, LLC's ("Ryan's") Credits and Incentives practice. Ryan, an award-winning global tax services and software provider, will play an integral role in accelerating VENU's rollout of upscale amphitheaters, mid-size venues, and immersive entertainment campuses nationwide.

Ryan will source and secure development sites, structure public-private partnerships and economic incentives, and engage municipal leaders as part of this three-year, exclusive agreement developed to position VENU for high-quality and explosive growth. The partnership will support the development of VENU's ultra-lux venues, unlocking public financing opportunities and fast-tracking VENU's entry into top-performing U.S. growth markets.

Ryan has already played a critical role in VENU's announced projects in McKinney and El Paso, Texas—establishing a proven record of aligning public-sector support with strategic growth. Under the new agreement, the tax firm will be tasked with securing two new public-private partnerships per quarter, accelerating the pace of market entries and enabling VENU to scale efficiently. This collaboration enhances deal flow, improves site qualification, and supports the Company's long-term strategy to redefine live entertainment through immersive, high-impact destinations.

"Ryan is more than a partner—they're our growth engine," said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU. "Over the two years we've worked together, I have witnessed them open doors to exciting new opportunities—lining up cities, incentives, and opportunities that align with our aggressive expansion strategy. When you're building something as audacious as we are, you need a firm that can move at your speed. That's Ryan."
