Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this announcement

may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, as amended, regarding

the expectations of management with respect to our future operating results and other future events including revenues and profitability.

The Company cautions that these statements are based on management’s current knowledge and expectations and are subject to certain

risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the control of the Company, that could cause actual results and events to differ

materially from the statements made herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the timing and

completion of the stock split; our ability to sustain and/or surpass the current level of sales of our products, to adapt to changing

consumer preferences, and to effectively respond to competitive products and pricing pressures; our ability to implement our growth strategy,

including expanding our business in existing and new sectors and achieving profitability within our Alcohol Brands segment; our ability

to adapt to the changing retail landscape with the rapid growth in e-commerce retailers and e-commerce websites; our ability to absorb,

reduce or pass on to our bottlers/distributors increases in costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, increases to the cost of

aluminum and other raw materials, the Midwest Premium, and freight costs; the impact of the current U.S. presidential administration’s

policies on our energy drinks due to concerns about sugar-sweetened beverages, particular ingredients, such as food dyes, and the “generally

recognized as safe” (GRAS) process; the impact of proposed or adopted domestic and/or foreign legislation to limit or restrict the

sale of energy drinks (including the prohibition of the sale of energy drinks to certain demographics, at certain establishments, in certain

container sizes or pursuant to certain governmental programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)); the impact

of changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of additional tariffs; the impact of adverse changes in our costs, our supply

chain, inflation or consumer demand for our products; the imposition of new and/or increased excise sales and/or other taxes on our products;

our extensive commercial arrangements with The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and, as a result, our future performance’s substantial dependence

on the success of our relationship with TCCC; the effects of unilateral decisions by bottlers/distributors and/or retailers on our business,

including their distribution and placement of our products, their consolidation, their discontinuation, or restriction of the range of,

all or any of our products that they carry, their limitations on the sale or sizes of our products, and/or their allocation of less resources

to the sale of our products; changes in the price and/or availability of raw materials and other supply chain issues, such as the availability

of products, suitable production facilities and/or co-packing arrangements; possible recalls of our products and/or the consequences and

costs of defective production; disruption to our manufacturing facilities and operations related to climate, labor, production difficulties,

capacity limitations, regulations or other causes; disruption to and/or lack of effectiveness of our information technology systems, including

internal and external cybersecurity threats and breaches; adverse publicity surrounding obesity, alcohol consumption and other health

concerns related to our products, product safety and quality; liabilities resulting from legal or regulatory proceedings, government investigations,

and/or injunctions; the inherent operational risks, including the abuse or misuse of our products presented by the alcoholic beverage

industry and/or related claims that may not be adequately covered by insurance or may lead to litigation; the current uncertainty and

volatility in the national and global economy and changes in demand due to such economic conditions, including a slowdown in consumer

spending generally; and the impact of military conflicts, including supply chain disruptions, volatility in commodity prices, increased

economic uncertainty and escalating geopolitical tensions. For a more detailed discussion of these and other risks that could affect our

operating results, see the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2025 and our subsequently filed quarterly report. The Company’s actual results could differ

materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements,

whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
