TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Flow Beverage Corp. (TSX:FLOW; OTCQX:FLWBF) (“Flow” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing today of its previously announced private placement of a US$2 million secured convertible note (the “Note”) to BeatBox Beverages (“BeatBox”), Flow’s long-term co-packing partner of ready-to-drink alcohol beverages.

“The closing of this financing marks a significant step in our strategic partnership with BeatBox. BeatBox is a valued co-pack partner and the proceeds from the Note will help Flow add two lines at our Aurora production facility. Both Flow and BeatBox are scaling rapidly and we are very pleased to be deepening our relationship as both organizations pursue innovation and sustainability in the North American beverage industry,” said Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flow.

The Note matures on October 25, 2029, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which interest is payable quarterly in arrears, and is secured against the assets of Flow. The principal amount of the Note is convertible at any time at BeatBox’s option into subordinate voting shares of Flow (the “Shares”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. Flow can force the conversion of the principal amount of the Note if, at any time during the period which is one year from issuance and ending on the maturity date, the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange is greater than $1.50 per Share for any five consecutive trading days.

The Company will use the proceeds from the issuance of the Note to fund the leaseholds and equipment necessary to expand capacity at Flow’s Aurora production facility.

The Company amended terms of its manufacturing agreement with BeatBox (the “Agreement”) on August 1, 2024, with the term of the Agreement extending from five to six years and the minimum total revenue under the Agreement increasing from $115 million to $213 million. Due to the increased production capacity requirements under the Agreement, Flow will be adding two production lines at its Aurora production facility. This expansion is to satisfy the increased demand for co-manufacturing from BeatBox, in addition to other co-manufacturing agreements recently announced, and to accommodate anticipated growth in the Flow brand.

The Note and the Shares issuable upon any conversion thereof are subject to a statutory four-month and one-day hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring on February 26, 2025.

About BeatBox

BeatBox is the “Original Party Punch”, offering fun and nostalgic flavors in a sustainable and resealable package. With a deep passion for live music, its community of super fans, and creating fun, BeatBox has become the brand that’s bringing the party to the alcohol industry.

The journey began in 2012 in the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX, and the energy was contagious. So much so that BeatBox secured the largest investment in Shark Tank history from Mark Cuban, who “invested in BeatBox because at heart I'm a 25-year-old and saw that this is going to be a party phenomenon.”

BeatBox quickly built a team of beverage leaders helping to define a new category of “Party Punch.” BeatBox has an impressive roster of investors from the music and entertainment industry, including Mark Cuban, Rob Dyrdek, Party Favor, Louis The Child, Good Times Ahead, and many more.

BeatBox has become one of the fastest growing brands in the alcohol industry and the drink of choice for Millennial and Gen Z drinkers.
