Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On November 20, 2018, Reed’s Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Reed’s), and Christopher J. Reed, founder, significant shareholder, CIO and director of Reed’s, entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the purchase and sale of Reed’s manufacturing and bottling plant business for the aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000. In conjunction with the sale, Reed’s will assign the commercial lease for the premises upon which the bottling plant is located to Mr. Reed, subject to satisfaction of landlord’s conditions and approval. Mr. Reed has remitted a $200,000 good faith deposit in furtherance of the transaction and intends to pay the remainder of the purchase price in cash received from financing through a third party commercial lender or through the sale, in a private transaction, of a block of shares of Reed’s common stock owned by Mr. Reed. The plant equipment is being sold “as-is, where-is”. The closing of the transaction is contingent upon execution of definitive agreements. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or before December 31, 2018.

 

The securities referenced in this item 7.01 have not been registered and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. The disclosure set forth in Item 7.01 is not an offering or the solicitation of an offer to purchase securities in Reed’s. Any such offer or solicitation will only be made to qualified investors by means of a confidential private placement memorandum and only in those jurisdictions where permitted by law.
