Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation of Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 19, 2026, AMASS Brands Inc (the “
Company
”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “
Certificate of Designation
”). The Certificate of Designation provides for the creation of 35,000 authorized shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “
Series C Preferred Stock
”).
The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to all other shares of capital stock of the Company with respect to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Without the prior express written consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “
Required Holders
”), the Company may not authorize or issue any shares of capital stock that are senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to such preferences.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock accrues a preferred return on its stated value at a rate of 2% per quarter (the “
Preferred Return
”), compounding daily and payable on a quarterly basis within five trading days following the end of each calendar quarter, in cash or through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at the Company’s election. Following an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the Preferred Return increases to 18% per annum simple interest. The Series C Preferred Stock does not participate in any dividends, distributions or payments to holders of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“
Common Stock
”).
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, prior to any payment to holders of Common Stock, an amount equal to the stated value plus any accrued and unpaid Preferred Return. A Deemed Liquidation Event includes (i) a merger or consolidation in which the stockholders of the Company do not continue to hold a majority of the voting power of the Company or any successor entity, or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock may convert their shares into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at any time following the applicable issuance date, at a conversion price equal to the Fixed Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event or Event of Default, and thereafter at the lesser of the Fixed Price and the Market Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the applicable conversion amount (the number of shares being converted multiplied by the then-current stated value) by the applicable conversion price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect any conversion that would cause a holder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “
Maximum Percentage
”). The Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and applies to all affiliates and assigns of each holder.
If the Company fails to deliver conversion shares by the applicable delivery date, a late fee equal to 1% of the applicable conversion share value (rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00, with a floor of $500.00) per day will accrue until delivery is made, subject to a cap of 200% of the applicable conversion share value per conversion. On up to three occasions, the Company will have fiv
e
t
rading
d
ays to d
eliver conversion shares without incurring any late fees.
Other than as set forth in the Certificate of Designation with respect to amendments, the Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights and does not vote on any matter submitted to the holders of Common Stock. The Company may not amend or repeal the Certificate of Designation without the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class.
2
The Certificate of Designation contains certain covenants that remain in effect until no shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, including, among others, that the Company will (i) timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC, (ii) maintain listing of the Common Stock on NYSE, NYSE American or Nasdaq, (iii) not issue any new shares of Series C Preferred Stock (other than in connection with payment of the Preferred Return) or increase or decrease the authorized shares of Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, (iv) not make any Restricted Issuance (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, (v) not pledge or grant a security interest in any of its assets without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, (vi) not dispose of any assets or operations with a value of more than $500,000 without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, (vii) not undertake or complete any reverse split (except in connection with satisfaction of a Nasdaq deficiency notice) without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, (viii) not create, authorize or issue any class of Preferred Stock without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, and (ix) not consummate a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) without the Required Holders’ prior written consent.
At any time after six months from the applicable issuance date, the Company may elect to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 115% of the Series C Preferred Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) then applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any redemptions made in connection with a Fundamental Transaction or Deemed Liquidation Event will be paid at such redemption price.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the stated value of the Series C Preferred Stock automatically increases by 15%, which increase may be applied up to three times for three separate Events of Default. In addition, upon an Event of Default, the Required Holders may force the Company to redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock for the stated value plus accrued and unpaid Preferred Return plus all other amounts due and payable under the Certificate of Designation.
The foregoing description of the Series C Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF
SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
of
AMASS Brands Inc,
a Delaware corporation
The undersigned Chief Executive Officer of AMASS Brands Inc (“Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority contained in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate”) and pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and in accordance with the provisions of the resolution creating a series of the class of the Corporation’s authorized preferred stock designated as the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as follows:
FIRST: The Certificate authorizes the issuance by the Corporation of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.00001 per share the “Common Stock”), and 41,192,462 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and further, authorize the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Corporation, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, to divide and establish any or all of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock not then allocated to any series into one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and limitations of each series.
SECOND: By unanimous written consent of the Board dated March 17, 2026, the Board designated thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares of the Preferred Stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a resolution providing that a series of preferred stock of the Corporation be and hereby is created and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, are as follows:
SERIES C CONVERIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have meanings set forth in Section 14 below.
Section 2. Powers and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. There is hereby designated a class of Preferred Stock of the Corporation as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series C Stock”). The number of shares, powers, terms, conditions, designations, preferences and privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series C Stock shall be as set forth in this Certificate of Designation of Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Certificate of Designation”). For purposes hereof, a holder of a share or shares of Series C Stock, with respect to their rights as related to the Series C Stock, shall be referred to as a “Series C Holder.”
Section 3. Number and Stated Value. The number of authorized shares of the Series C Stock is thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares. Each share of Series C Stock shall have a stated value of $1,086.96 (the “Stated Value”).
2
Section 4. Ranking. Except to the extent that the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series C Stock (the “Required Holders”) expressly consent to the creation of Parity Stock (as defined below), all shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be junior in rank to all Series C Stock with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior Stock”). The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be qualified by the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Series C Stock. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of Designation, without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, voting separately as a single class, the Corporation shall not hereafter authorize or issue any additional or other shares of capital stock that is (i) of senior rank to the Series C Stock in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”), or (ii) of pari passu rank to the Series C Stock in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation (collectively, the “Parity Stock”). In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation wherein the Corporation is the surviving entity, the shares of Series C Stock shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall provide for a result inconsistent therewith, subject to the other terms and conditions herein.
Section 5. Preferred Return.
(a)
Each share of Series C Stock shall accrue a rate of return on the Stated Value at the rate of 2% per quarter, to be determined pro rata for any fractional year periods (the “Preferred Return”). The Preferred Return shall accrue on each share of Series C Stock from the date of its Issuance Date and shall be payable or otherwise settled as set forth herein.

(b)
The Preferred Return shall compound daily and be payable on a quarterly basis, within five (5) Trading Days following the end of each calendar quarter, either in cash or via the issuance to the applicable Series C Holder of an additional number of shares of Series C Stock equal to (i) the Preferred Return then accrued and unpaid, divided by (ii) the $1,000.00 per share purchase price of the Series C Stock, with the election as to payment in cash or via the issuance of additional shares of Series C Stock to be determined in the discretion of the Corporation.
(c)
In the event that the Corporation elects to pay any Preferred Return via the issuance of shares of Series C Stock, no fractional shares of Series C Stock shall be issued, and the Corporation shall pay in cash the Preferred Return that would otherwise be payable via the issuance of a fractional share of Series C Stock.
3
Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.
(a)
Preferential Payments to Holders of Series C Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), each share of Series C Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock equal to by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share of Series C Stock equal to the Stated Value at such time plus any accrued and unpaid Preferred Return (as applicable, the “Series C Preferred Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the Series C Preferred Liquidation Amount, the Series C Holders with respect to their shares of Series C Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. Following the payment of the Series C Preferred Liquidation Amount, if there are any remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, the Series C Stock shall not participate in such distributions.
(b)
Deemed Liquidation Events.
(i)
Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event”:

(2)
the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
(c)
Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Section 6(b)(i)(1) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the Series C Stock shall be allocated in accordance with Section 6(a).
4
(d)
Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the Series C Holders upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such Series C Holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, right or securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board.
(e)
Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Section 6(b)(i)(1), if any portion of the consideration payable to the Series C Holders of the Corporation is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the merger agreement or other agreement related to such event shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the ‘‘Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the Series C Holders in accordance with Section 6(a) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the Series C Holders upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the Series C Holders in accordance with Section 6(a) after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.
Section 7. Conversions. The Series C Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock at any time or times following the applicable Issuance Date of such Series C Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.
(a)
Conversion Right. Any Series C Holder shall be entitled to convert its Series C Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 7. The Corporation shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall round such fractional share up to the nearest whole share. The Corporation shall pay any and all fees, transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount. Conversion notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”) may be effectively delivered to the Corporation at the email or other address provided to such Series C Holder by the Corporation.
(b)
Limited Conversion Right. Following the occurrence of a Limited Conversion Event, Investor will have the right to submit a Conversion Notice during the Limited Conversion Window applicable to such Limited Conversion Event (each, a “Limited Conversion”). The applicable Conversion Price for Limited Conversions, regardless of when submitted, will be the lower of (i) the Fixed Price, and (ii) the Market Price.
(c)

5
(e)

In addition, for each Conversion, in the event that Conversion Shares are not delivered by the Delivery Date, a late fee equal to 1% of the applicable Conversion Share Value rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 but with a floor of $500.00 per day (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each Conversion shall not exceed 200% of the applicable Conversion Share Value) will be assessed for each day after the Delivery Date until Conversion Share delivery is made (“Late Fees”); and such Late Fees will be paid in cash to the Series C Holder. On up to three (3) occasions, the Corporation will have five (5) Trading Days to deliver Conversion Shares without incurring any Late Fees.
(f)
Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designation or any other agreement between the Corporation and a Series C Holder, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of Series C Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion would cause the Series C Holder (together with its Affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of each Series C Holder.

Subject to the terms and conditions herein, at any time after the date that is six (6) months from the applicable Issuance Date, the Corporation may elect, in the sole discretion of the Board, to redeem all or any portion of the Series C Stock then issued and outstanding from all of the Series C Holders (a “Corporation Optional Redemption”) by paying to the applicable Series C Holders an amount in cash equal to the Series C Preferred Liquidation Amount then applicable to such shares of Series C Stock being redeemed in the Corporation Optional Redemption multiplied by 115% (the “Redemption Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, any redemptions made in connection with a Fundamental Transaction or Deemed Liquidation Event will be paid at the Redemption Price.
(b)
The Corporation shall provide written notice of any Corporation Optional Redemption to the Series C Holder(s) within ten (10) Trading Days following the determination of the Board to consummate the applicable Corporation Optional Redemption, and thereafter such Corporation Optional Redemption shall be completed on the tenth (10th) Trading Day following the delivery of such notice, and at such time the Corporation shall deliver to the Series C Holder(s) the Redemption Price in valid funds. Each Series C Holder agrees to execute and deliver to the Corporation such instruments and documents, and to take such actions, as reasonably required to consummate the Corporation Optional Redemption; provided, however, the Series C Holders will still have the right to exercise their right to convert the Series C Stock into Common Stock during the foregoing ten-day notice period.

Exhibit 99.1
AMASS Brands Group Completes Nasdaq Direct Listing; Common Stock to Begin Trading Under the Symbol ‘AMSS’
SANTA MARIA, CA., May 20, 2026 – AMASS Brands Group (“AMASS” or “the Company”), a premium, multi-category beverage platform spanning non-alcohol, functional, and alcohol 2.0 products, today announced that AMASS Brands Group’s common stock (the “common stock”) will begin trading today on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the stock ticker symbol “AMSS”. The direct listing did not involve the issuance of new common stock by the Company.
“Today marks a defining milestone for AMASS as we begin trading on Nasdaq,” said Mark Thomas Lynn, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AMASS. “We’ve built a differentiated, multi-brand platform positioned at the intersection of several of the fastest-growing segments in the beverage industry. As a public company, we are focused on scaling our portfolio, expanding distribution, and executing on our strategy to build a leading next-generation beverage company.”
AMASS has established a diversified, multi-category beverage platform with a portfolio of nine core brands spanning non-alcoholic alternatives, functional wellness products, and premium, better-for-you alcoholic beverages. Since inception, the Company has generated more than $80 million in cumulative revenue, sold over 5.7 million bottles, and expanded its distribution footprint to more than 40,000 points of sale. The Company’s portfolio includes brands such as Good Twin Non-Alcoholic Wine and Summer Water Rosé.
The Company operates within several of the fastest-growing segments of the global beverage industry, supported by long-term consumer trends around health, moderation, and ingredient transparency. The U.S. non-alcoholic beverage market alone is projected to grow from approximately $169.6 billion in 2024 to $246.9 billion by 20321, while the functional beverage category is expected to reach $71 billion by 20302. With a diversified, cross-category portfolio, the Company believes it is well positioned to capture shifting consumption patterns and drive growth through continued innovation and strategic acquisitions.
Advisors
Maxim Group LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to the Company in connection with this direct listing. Winston & Strawn LLP acted as counsel to the Company.
About AMASS Brands Group
AMASS Brands Group (Nasdaq: AMSS) is a next-generation beverage platform built around the brands with the goal of defining how modern consumers drink — and increasingly, how they don't. The Company's portfolio spans non-alcohol, functional, and alcohol 2.0 categories, with standout brands across each: Good Twin Non-Alcoholic Wine, a top-10 non-alcoholic wine in the U.S. and one of the fastest-growing in the category; and Summer Water Rosé, the zero-sugar, #1 selling premium domestic rosé in the US according to Nielsen — among others across the portfolio. As moderation trends accelerate, AMASS believes it is positioned to benefit structurally rather than reactively — with margin discipline, cohesive brand architecture, and the multi-brand scalability that makes AMASS increasingly relevant to strategic acquirers in an evolving beverage landscape.
