ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. We provide information to you about this offering in two separate documents that are bound together: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying base prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement), the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement as our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the earlier dates. You should also read and consider the additional information under the caption “Incorporation of Certain Documents By Reference” in this prospectus supplement.

 

We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized any other person to provide you with information other than information provided or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus relating to the offering made pursuant to this prospectus supplement. We and the underwriters take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurances as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you or representations that others may make. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, any free writing prospectus with respect to the offering filed by us with the SEC and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. We are not making an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer or solicitation is not permitted or in which the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date they were made. In addition, the assertions embodied in any representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to investors and may be qualified by information in disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the agreements. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

 

The registration statement containing the prospectus, including exhibits to the registration statement, provides additional information about us and the securities offered under this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus. We have filed and plan to continue to file other documents with the SEC that contain information about us and our business. Also, we will file legal documents that control the terms of the securities offered by this prospectus as exhibits to the reports that we file with the SEC. The registration statement and other reports can be read at the SEC website mentioned under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict and that involve uncertainties that may materially affect our actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Before making an investment decision about our common stock, you should carefully consider the specific factors set forth below and in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein, including the “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, together with all of the other information appearing or incorporated by reference into this prospectus in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

 

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

 

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

 

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed public offering price of $1.55 per share and the pro forma net tangible book value of the common stock of $0.16 per share as of June 30, 2022 (see “Dilution” below), if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer dilution of $1.35 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock which is $0.20 per share following the offering. See “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase our common stock in the offering.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Future sales of common stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

 

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or the perception that these sales may occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell shares in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their common shares by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements.

 

 

Our Board of Directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with no par value per share, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

Because certain principal stockholders own a large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders’ voting power may be limited.

 

As of September 8, 2022 our ten (10) largest shareholders own or controlled approximately 31.3% of our outstanding common stock. If those stockholders act together, they would have the ability to have a substantial influence on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, our other stockholders may have little or no influence over matters submitted for shareholder approval. In addition, the ownership of such stockholders could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us, and consequently, adversely affect the price of our common stock. These stockholders may make decisions that are adverse to your interests.

  

We do not expect to pay dividends and investors should not buy our common stock expecting to receive dividends.

 

We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not pay dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

 

There can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the NYSE American.

 

Since June 11, 2021, our common stock has been listed on the NYSE American, under the symbol “SBEV”. The NYSE American has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from the NYSE American), would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

 

Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.

 

Our issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could result in adjustments to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional common stock to certain of our stockholders.

 

This offering may cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease.

 

The price per share, together with the number of shares of common stock we issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our common stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.

  

 You should consult your independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters arising with respect to any investment in our securities.

 

All prospective purchasers of our securities are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our securities.

 

 

 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement includes forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “seek,” “predict,” “continue,” “possible,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, those results may not be indicative of results in subsequent periods.

 

Some risks inherent in the beverage industry include, among others:

  

●	Economic, political, social or other developments in countries and markets in which we operate, which may contribute to a reduction in demand for our products, adverse impacts on our customer, supplier and/or financial counterparties, or the imposition of import, investment or currency restrictions (including the potential impact of any global, regional or local trade wars or any tariffs, duties or other restrictions or barriers imposed on the import or export of goods between territories, including but not limited to, imports into and exports from the United States, Canada, Mexico, certain South American countries, the United Kingdom and/or the European Union);
●	Any litigation or other similar proceedings (including with tax, customs, competition, environmental, anti-corruption or other regulatory authorities), including litigation directed at the beverage alcohol industry generally or at the Company in particular;
●	Changes in the domestic and international tax environment, leading to uncertainty around the application of existing and new tax laws and unexpected tax exposures;
●	The effects of climate change, or legal, regulatory or market measures intended to address climate change, on our business;
●	Changes in the cost of production, including as a result of increases in the cost of commodities, labor and/or energy or as a result of inflation;

●	Increased competitive product and pricing pressures, including as a result of actions by increasingly consolidated competitors or increased competition from regional and local companies, that could negatively impact our market share, distribution network, costs and/or pricing;
●	Contamination, counterfeiting or other circumstances which could harm the level of customer support for our brands and adversely impact our sales;
●	Any disruption to production facilities, business service centers or information systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks;
●	Increased costs for, or shortages of, talent, as well as labor strikes or disputes;

  

 

●	Our ability to renew supply, distribution, manufacturing or license agreements (or related rights) and licenses on favorable terms, or at all, when they expire;
●	Any failure by us to protect our intellectual property rights;
●	Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly;
●	Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of affected products;
●	Climate change may negatively affect our business;
●	Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs and capacity;
●	Fluctuations in quantity and quality of grape supply could adversely affect our business;
●	Contamination of our wines could harm our business; and
●	The other risks set forth herein under the caption “Risk Factors.”

  

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement. You should not put undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this prospectus supplement.

 

In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described in “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and in the documents that we include in or incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, our Quarterly Report for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and our subsequent Exchange Act filings. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million from the sale of the shares of common stock in this offering, or approximately $3.1 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use net proceeds from this offering to support additional distribution and retail authorizations gained recently.

 

We may change the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any of the foregoing purposes. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

The following table sets forth our capitalization, as of June 30, 2022:

Total capitalization		$	12,130,649			$	14,876,649

    

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering is based on 37,269,828 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and excludes:

  

	●	1,211,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding; and
	●	10,098,834 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding.

  

 

DILUTION 

 

If you purchase our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. 

 

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 was $6,049,206, or $0.16 per share. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022. Dilution with respect to net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

After giving effect to the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering, at a public offering price of $1.55, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 would have been $8.8 million, or $0.20 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.04 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $1.35 per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock.

 

The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis.

  

		OFFERING
Public offering price per share		$	1.55
Pro forma net tangible book value before offering		$	0.16
Increase in pro form net tangible book value attributable to new investors		$	0.04
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after offering		$	0.20
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value to new investors		$	1.35

  

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding as shown above is based on 37,269,828 shares outstanding as June 30, 2022, and excludes as of that date:

  

●	10,098,834 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2022, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.22 per share;
●	1,211,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2022, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.57 per share; and

  

●	automatic increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the Splash Beverage Group, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan.

  

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of common stock at the public offering price of $1.55 per share, the as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 after giving effect to issuances of common stock, on a pro forma basis, would have been $0.21 per share, representing an increase in net tangible book value of $0.05 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.34 per share to purchasers in this offering at the public offering price.

  

To the extent that options and warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2022 have been or may be exercised or other shares are issued, investors purchasing our securities in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

 

In this offering, we are offering shares of our common stock. The material terms and provisions of our common stock are described under the captions “Description of Capital Stock” beginning on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus.

   

UNDERWRITING

 

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC is the representative of each of the underwriters named below (the “Representative”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement among us and the underwriters, we have agreed to issue and sell to the underwriters, and each of the underwriters has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us, the number of shares of common stock listed opposite its name below.

   

Underwriter		Number of Shares
EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC			1,995,000
Joseph Gunnar & Co. LLC			5,000
Total			2,000,000

  

The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

  

Discount, Commissions and Expenses

 

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount, and proceeds, before expenses, to us. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters of their overallotment option.

  

						Total
		Per Share				Without Option				With Option
Public offering price		$	1.55			$	3,100,000			$	3,565,000

The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of common stock directly to the public at the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers. After the initial offering of the shares of common stock, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Representative.

 

The estimated offering expenses payable by us, exclusive of the underwriting discount, are approximately $125,000, which includes legal, accounting and printing costs, expenses incurred and various other fees associated with the registration and listing of our common stock. We have also agreed to pay the expenses of the underwriters in connection with the offering, including filing fees and investor presentation expenses, as well as underwriters’ counsel legal fees, up to an aggregate $ 75,000.

 

We have also agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1.0%) of the gross proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. The non-accountable expense allowance will be paid through a deduction from the net proceeds of the offering.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted the underwriters an over-allotment option. This option, which is exercisable for up to 45 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, permits the underwriters to purchase up to an aggregate of 300,000 additional shares of common stock (equal to 15% of the common stock sold in the offering), at the public offering price per share, less underwriting discount, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

  

Right of First Refusal

 

Following the closing of this offering, provided that the shares are sold in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement, and subject to certain exceptions, the Representative will have an irrevocable right of first refusal, for a period of four (4) months after the date this offering is completed, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at the Representative’s sole discretion, for certain public and private equity and debt offering (other than equity issued for the purpose of acquisitions or strategic transactions), during such four (4) month period, of the Company, or any successor to or any current or future subsidiary of the Company, on terms and conditions customary for such transactions.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Other than with respect to certain issuances (including equity issued for the purpose of acquisitions or strategic transactions), without the prior consent of the Representative, we and our officers and directors will not for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, other than with respect to the offering, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company other than with respect to a registration statement on Form S-8 or S-4; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities of the Company, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank; or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of shares.

 

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

 

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing shares of our common stock. However, the Representative may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ overallotment option described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their overallotment option or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the overallotment option. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the overallotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of our common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the closing of this offering.

 

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the Representative has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

 

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NYSE American, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

 

Neither us nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither us nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the Representative will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

 

 

Electronic Distribution

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriters, if any, participating in this offering and the underwriters may distribute prospectuses electronically. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus form a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or the underwriters, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “seek,” “predict,” “continue,” “possible,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the use of proceeds from this offering, our product candidates, research and development, commercialization objectives, prospects, strategies, the industry in which we operate and potential acquisitions or collaborations.

 

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, those results may not be indicative of results in subsequent periods.

 

Some risks inherent in the beverage industry include, among others:

 

 

●	Economic, political, social or other developments in countries and markets in which we operate, which may contribute to a reduction in demand for our products, adverse impacts on our customer, supplier and/or financial counterparties, or the imposition of import, investment or currency restrictions (including the potential impact of any global, regional or local trade wars or any tariffs, duties or other restrictions or barriers imposed on the import or export of goods between territories, including but not limited to, imports into and exports from the United States, Canada, Mexico, certain South American countries, the United Kingdom and/or the European Union);
●	Any litigation or other similar proceedings (including with tax, customs, competition, environmental, anti-corruption or other regulatory authorities), including litigation directed at the beverage alcohol industry generally or at the Company in particular;
●	Changes in the domestic and international tax environment, leading to uncertainty around the application of existing and new tax laws and unexpected tax exposures;
●	The effects of climate change, or legal, regulatory or market measures intended to address climate change, on our business;
●	Changes in the cost of production, including as a result of increases in the cost of commodities, labor and/or energy or as a result of inflation;
●	Legal and regulatory developments, including changes in regulations relating to production, distribution, importation, marketing, advertising, sales, pricing, labeling, packaging, product liability, antitrust, labor, compliance and control systems, environmental issues and/or data privacy;
●	Increased competitive product and pricing pressures, including as a result of actions by increasingly consolidated competitors or increased competition from regional and local companies, that could negatively impact our market share, distribution network, costs and/or pricing;
●	Contamination, counterfeiting or other circumstances which could harm the level of customer support for our brands and adversely impact our sales;
●	Any disruption to production facilities, business service centers or information systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks;
●	Increased costs for, or shortages of, talent, as well as labor strikes or disputes;
●	Our ability to renew supply, distribution, manufacturing or license agreements (or related rights) and licenses on favorable terms, or at all, when they expire;
●	Any failure by us to protect our intellectual property rights;
●	Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly;
●	Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of affected products;
●	Climate change may negatively affect our business;
●	Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs and capacity;
●	Fluctuations in quantity and quality of grape supply could adversely affect our business;
●	Contamination of our wines could harm our business; and
●	The other risks set forth herein under the caption “Risk Factors.”

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. You should not put undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this prospectus.  

 

 

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. In addition to the risk factors set forth above, the factors set forth below under “Risk Factors” and other cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read and understood as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus.

 

ABOUT SPLASH BEVERAGE GROUP, INC.

 

Company Overview

 

We manufacture, through third party facilities, and distribute several brands of beverages including both non-alcoholic and spirits brands. We believe the distribution landscape in the beverage industry is changing rapidly as tech-enabled e-commerce business models are thriving. Direct to consumer, office or home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction in the future, and our own e-commerce platform, Qplash, which allows us to purchase local and regional brands for developing a direct line of sales at retail stores, is well positioned to take advantage of this anticipated growth.

 

Our Strategy

 

Our strategy is to combine the traditional approach of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of beverages, but with brands that have a reasonable level of pre-existing brand awareness and market presence, or have attributes that we believe to be purely innovative. These are SBG’s core values. We believe this allows SBG to break through the clutter of numerous brand introductions and dilute risk. This philosophy is applied regardless of whether the brand is 100% owned by SBG or a joint venture. To this end, we intend to own some beverage brands while managing other beverage brands owned by other beverage producers.

 

For acquisition or joint venture consideration, we prefer to work with brands that already have one or more of the following in place:

 

●

Some level of preexisting brand awareness

 

●

Regional presence that can be expanded

 

●

Licensing an existing brand name (TapouT for example)

 

●

Add to an underdeveloped and/or growing category

 

●

Innovation to an existing attractive category (such as flavored tequila)

 

Products

 

We produce, distribute and market two beverages’ brands: “TapouT Performance”, a hydration and recovery isotonic sport drink and SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila (“SALT”), a 100% agave 80 proof line of flavored tequilas.

 

Copa di Vino Wine Group, Inc.

 

On December 28, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Copa di Vino Corporation (“Copa di Vino”), the leading producer of premium wine by the glass in the United States.

 

Through our acquisition of Copa di Vino, we are now able to offer seven varietals of wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Merlot, Chardonnay, White Zinfandel, Moscato, and Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to its wine varietals, Copa di Vino also produces Pulpoloco, a sangria which is encased in a 100% biodegradable can made from paper.

 

 

E-commerce

 

“Qplash” is our consumer-packaged goods retail division and our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel. The division sells beverages and groceries online through www.qplash.com, and third-party storefronts such as Amazon.com and Walmart.com.

 

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.

 

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc., a provider of home medical equipment, supplies and services is a legacy business. In December 2020, management announced our plan to discontinue CMS.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to the Company’s success and differentiate us from our competitors:

 

	●	An established distribution network through global sales channels;
	●	A hybrid distribution model that leverages multiple routes to market, including national chains, independent local markets and regional chains, and specialty food and convenience stores;
	●	Long-term relationships with retailers and the establishment of chains;
	●	Premium customer service;
	●	Dynamic and sustainable product offerings of natural quality and freshness with health benefits;
	●	A highly experienced management team;
	●	Strategically selected, dedicated sales professionals;
	●	Qplash, our e-commerce platform, which provides us instant coast to coast coverage and our own fully integrated distribution platform for all of our beverage categories;
	●	Ability to execute and distribute across many geographies, on behalf of our licensed brand portfolio;
	●	Strong brand awareness through partnerships and acquisitions of brands that have pre-existing brand awareness or are viewed as truly innovative; and
	●	Celebrity and professional athlete endorsement of our brands.

 

Employees

 

We have eight full-time employees, including non-officer employees and our executive officers, and we retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not have any part-time employees but work with several consultants.

The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at a meeting which commences with a lawful quorum is sufficient for approval of most matters upon which shareholders may or must vote, including the questions presented for approval or ratification at the Annual Meeting. However, an amendment of the articles of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total voting power for approval. Common shares do not carry cumulative voting rights, and holders of more than 50% of the common stock have the power to elect all directors and, as a practical matter, to control the Company. Holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and the common stock may only be redeemed at our election.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue up to 5,00,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share, from time to time in one or more series.

 

Our articles of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock from time to time with such classes and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Preferred stock is available for possible future financings or acquisitions and for general corporate purposes without further authorization of stockholders unless such authorization is required by applicable law, the rules of the NYSE American or other securities exchange or market on which our stock is then listed or admitted to trading.

 

Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change-in-control of the Company.

 

A prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. Such prospectus supplement will include:

 

	●	the title and stated or par value of the preferred stock;
	●	the number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of the preferred stock;
	●	the dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation thereof applicable to the preferred stock;
	●	whether dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the preferred stock shall accumulate;
	●	the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock;
	●	any voting rights of the preferred stock;
	●	the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock;
	●	any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange;
	●	the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock, including the conversion price or the manner of calculating the conversion price and conversion period;
	●	if appropriate, a discussion of Federal income tax consequences applicable to the preferred stock; and
	●	any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock.

 

 

The terms, if any, on which the preferred stock may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock will also be stated in the preferred stock prospectus supplement. The terms will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, and may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock to be received by the holders of preferred stock would be subject to adjustment.

Listing

 

Our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $4.60 per share are listed on the NYSE American under the symbols “SBEV” and “SBEV WS” respectively.

 

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

As of June 15, 2021, we issued warrants to purchase 4,312,500 shares of common stock at an exercise of 4.60 per share (the “June 2021). The warrants are exercisable immediately. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock as described herein. A holder may not exercise any portion of a warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants, except that upon notice from the holder to us, the holder may waive such limitation up to a percentage, not in excess of 9.99%. Each warrant is currently exercisable and will expire on June 15, 2026. The terms of the warrants are governed by a Warrant Agent Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2021, between us and Equiniti Trust Company as the warrant agent.

 

In addition to the June 2021 Warrants, we may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock or common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any preferred stock or common stock, and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent specified in the agreement and us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of that series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of some provisions of the securities warrants is not complete. You should refer to the securities warrant agreement, including the forms of securities warrant certificate representing the securities warrants, relating to the specific securities warrants being offered for the complete terms of the securities warrant agreement and the securities warrants. The securities warrant agreement, together with the terms of the securities warrant certificate and securities warrants, will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of the specific warrants.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, where applicable, of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

 

	●	the title of the warrants;
	●	the aggregate number of the warrants;
	●	the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
	●	the designation, amount and terms of the offered securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;

 

 

	●	if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the offered securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants will be separately transferable;
	●	the terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of such warrants;
	●	any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;
	●	the price or prices at which and currency or currencies in which the offered securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
	●	the date on which the right to exercise the warrants shall commence and the date on which the right shall expire;

	●	information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;
	●	if appropriate, a discussion of Federal income tax consequences; and
	●	any other material terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

 

Warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock will be offered and exercisable for U.S. dollars only. Warrants will be issued in registered form only.

 

Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the purchased securities. If less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

 

Prior to the exercise of any securities warrants to purchase preferred stock or common stock, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise, including in the case of securities warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock, the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends on the preferred stock or common stock purchasable upon exercise.

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

 

Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

 

 

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

 

Delayed Delivery Contracts

 

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

 

Continuous Offering Program

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE American at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

 

 Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

 

General Information

 

Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
