SPLASH BEVERAGE GROUP PARTNERS WITH VETERAN CANNABINOID DRUG-DEVELOPMENT

TEAM TO ADVANCE CANNEPIL® THROUGH FDA VETERINARY PATHWAY

Collaboration with Lupvindol Biosciences will initially target companion-animal

oncology and chronic pain management

Splash retains ownership of resulting data, intellectual property and commercialization

rights

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., August 5, 2026 — Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

(NYSE American: SBEV) (“Splash” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a strategic development

and collaboration agreement with Lupvindol Biosciences Ltd. to advance CannEpil® as a potential FDA-regulated veterinary pharmaceutical

product for companion-animal oncology and chronic pain management.

The milestone-driven program is designed to advance CannEpil through the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, beginning with the Investigational New Animal Drug (“INAD”)

process and progressing toward potential conditional approval pursuant to Section 571 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“Conditional

Approval”). Canine applications are expected to represent the initial development focus.

Lupvindol will lead the scientific, product-development and FDA regulatory

activities, including preparation of the INAD submission, development of an FDA-acceptable product development plan, study design and

oversight, regulatory correspondence and preparation of a potential Conditional Approval submission.

Splash will provide milestone-based funding and lead commercialization

strategy, strategic partnering and capital-markets activities. Importantly, Splash will own the medical technology, study data, regulatory

submissions and foreground intellectual property generated through the collaboration and will retain control over future licensing and

commercialization decisions.

“This collaboration converts our expanded CannEpil rights into a

defined and capital-efficient FDA development program,” said Brady Cobb, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Splash Beverage Group.

“Our objective is to build a differentiated cannabinoid health sciences platform by pairing high-quality intellectual property with

experienced scientific leadership, disciplined regulatory execution and global commercial capabilities.”

“The Lupvindol team has helped advance cannabinoid medicines from

development through FDA approval and commercialization. By combining that experience with Splash’s exclusive global CannEpil rights,

we believe we have assembled the assets and leadership necessary to pursue a significant opportunity in companion-animal health while

preserving Splash’s ownership of the value created through the program.”

EXPERIENCED CANNABINOID PHARMACEUTICAL LEADERSHIP

The program will be led by Hunter Land, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer

of Lupvindol Biosciences, a pharmaceutical research and development executive with more than two decades of experience across multiple

therapeutic areas.

Dr. Land was GW Pharmaceuticals’ first full-time U.S. research and

development employee and played an important role in the development of Epidiolex®, the first FDA-approved plant-derived cannabinoid

medicine, as well as Sativex®. His experience includes cannabinoid pharmaceutical development, clinical protocol design, regulatory

strategy and commercialization planning.

The broader Lupvindol team brings experience in FDA regulatory pathways,

cannabinoid science, preclinical and clinical study design, product development and commercialization.

“Having participated in the development of Epidiolex®, I have

seen firsthand how rigorous science, disciplined execution and thoughtful regulatory engagement can transform cannabinoid research into

approved pharmaceutical products,” said Dr. Land.

“CannEpil represents a differentiated pharmaceutical cannabinoid

platform that we believe warrants evaluation through the FDA’s veterinary regulatory framework. Our team looks forward to working

with Splash to generate the scientific and clinical evidence required to support potential approval and commercialization in companion-animal

oncology and chronic pain management.”

CAPITAL-EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT MODEL

The agreement aligns Splash’s investment with measurable regulatory

progress through an initial payment followed by milestone payments tied to opening the INAD, completing the product development plan,

advancing FDA submissions and achieving Conditional Approval or an earlier licensing transaction.

Lupvindol will absorb the annual FDA sponsor fee through Conditional Approval,

unless the parties agree to transfer sponsorship. Splash will fund any FDA-required pilot study subject to an agreed development plan

and contractual funding cap.

Following a designated FDA submission milestone, Splash will evaluate regulatory

feedback, remaining development requirements and interest from potential animal-health pharmaceutical partners before determining the

next phase of the program.

Splash will retain lead responsibility for commercialization and may elect

to partner with an established animal-health pharmaceutical company or pursue direct commercialization based on the regulatory and commercial

data available at that time.

For additional information regarding the collaboration agreement, including

an overview of material terms and a copy of the agreement as an exhibit, investors should review the Company’s Current Report on

Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2026.

The Company licenses CannEpil from Argent Biopharma Limited pursuant to

an Exclusive License Agreement dated July 6, 2026, as amended on July 27, 2026.

COMPANION-ANIMAL HEALTH OPPORTUNITY

The global veterinary pain-management market was valued at approximately

$2.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately $3.8 billion by 2030. Companion-animal oncology also represents a significant

unmet need. The Veterinary Cancer Society estimates that one in four dogs will develop cancer, while the National Cancer Institute estimates

approximately six million new canine cancer diagnoses annually in the United States.

“Splash is executing a disciplined strategy to build a diversified

cannabinoid health sciences platform by commercializing existing international pharmaceutical assets, advancing FDA-regulated veterinary

and human therapeutics, and developing innovative cannabinoid consumer wellness and beverage brands for global markets,” Cobb said.

“We have secured the asset, expanded its licensed field and now engaged

an experienced cannabinoid drug-development team to execute the veterinary program. Our focus is achieving measurable regulatory and commercial

milestones.”

CannEpil has not been approved by the FDA for veterinary use. The indications,

study designs, regulatory requirements, costs and development timeline will be determined through engagement with the FDA. There can be

no assurance that CannEpil will receive Conditional Approval, full approval or any other regulatory authorization.

About Lupvindol Biosciences Ltd.

Lupvindol Biosciences Ltd. is a pharmaceutical and bioscience development

company with expertise in cannabinoid-based therapeutics and U.S. FDA regulatory pathways. The company is led by Hunter Land, Ph.D., whose

experience includes participation in the development of Epidiolex® and Sativex® at GW Pharmaceuticals.

cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol isolates in a liquid solution manufactured under European Union Good Manufacturing Practice standards.

regarding CannEpil’s veterinary development; potential oncology and chronic pain indications; the INAD and Conditional Approval

processes; anticipated studies, FDA interactions and regulatory submissions; potential licensing and commercialization arrangements; and

Splash’s broader business strategy.

actual results to differ materially, including Splash’s ability to raise the necessary capital to finance the program, satisfy its

contractual obligations including our ability to maintain the license under the license agreement for the CannEpil product on which the

collaboration described herein depends, complete required studies, establish product safety and efficacy, obtain regulatory authorization,
