MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDERS

We founded BeatBox Beverages almost 9 years ago with the mission of bringing

people together and having fun; centered around music that connects us all

globally. We wanted to build a brand that captured the feeling of being at a music

festival with your best friends, not having a care in the world other than what stage

you were going to hit up next. As founders this was an easy brand to represent,

because this was authentic to our core with our passion for music, new connections

and all-around great times. We looked up to experiential brands such as Red Bull,

and truly felt from day one that we would be the Red Bull of the alcohol space,

building a global experiential brand bringing a feeling of joy and connectedness

across the globe.

With no prior industry experience, we utilized the entrepreneurial spirit of Austin, TX to get our product off the ground. We met incredible people that

helped us navigate the complex world of the three tier-system and how to build a great brand. One of our biggest breaks occurred on national TV,

when Mark Cuban decided to invest $1m in our vision. He understood that we weren’t selling wine, we were selling FUN. And we continue to do that

to this day, 6 years later. Selling fun shows up in everything we do, from our packaging to our marketing to our entire team.

In addition to Mark Cuban, we've been fortunate to have like-minded celebrities join our company by making cash investments into the business

and helping us create brand awareness. From MTV's Rob Dyrdek, who generously featured BeatBox on his hit show “Ridiculousness”, to global

headlining DJ's Party Favor, Louis The Child, G.T.A, and others who authentically put BeatBox in front of our core consumer, we believe we've only

just scratched the surface on what these partnerships can bring to the brand. We have now figured out the perfect mix of product, team,

wholesaler network and marketing strategy. As of January 2021, our TTM revenue on the BeatBox Beverages brand is over $7.2m, with depletions

over 305,000 case equivalents. Nielsen recently named us the fastest growing single-serve wine product by cases, dollars, and velocities in January

of 2020. With consumer habits increasingly moving in the direction of ready to drink, flavor, “better for you”, and alternative/eco-friendly packaging,

BeatBox is positioned incredibly well to continue to disrupt the beverage industry in the current environment and beyond.

The foundation is in place and the white space is there for continued exponential growth. Much like our DJ and music partners who perform all over

the world, we feel the opportunity for BeatBox to be a global brand is there. There is a lot of work to be done, and we are incredibly excited for the

next chapter as we continue to make our dreams a reality.

Cheers,

- Justin, Aimy & Brad

While BeatBox is wine-based, as Mark Cuban said, they don’t sell wine they sell fun. They are far more comparable to RTDs than any wine product. In

addition to having the highest $ sales per point of CWD of the top ten RTDs, BeatBox is subject to a lower federal excise tax and has a broader potential

distribution footprint than other RTDs due to its wine base.

Unlike the segment’s other leading brands, which have expansive distribution presences, BeatBox’s distribution opportunity is virtually untapped.

BeatBox is a clear category leader with a remarkable amount of whitespace, doubling the next closest brand’s $ Sales per point in Category Weighted

Distribution, all while relying on a distribution base that is a fraction as small as the other leading brands.

Page 13: CONFIDENTIAL BRAND OVERVIEW

According to Nielsen, as of December

31st 2020, Beatbox led its category in $

sales per point in category weighted

distribution, more than doubling the

next closest brand. This speaks to

BeatBox’s continued velocity and

upside for growth as it penetrates

more and more markets.

Less than two years ago, BeatBox

was found in fewer than 100 chain

locations. Today, BeatBox is

available in 1,800+ Circle K locations,

500+ QuikTrips, 250+ Krogers, 200+ H-

E-Bs, 300+ 7-Elevens, 200+ Casey’s

General Stores & more.

BeatBox is well-poised to maintain its

impressive recent trends – notably,

growth continues with five new state

openings, several new chain locations

opening, and award-winning flavor

innovations the like brand new Zero

Sugar launch all in Q1 2021. With a

focus on off-premise sales, a long shelf

life, and high margin, cash generating

product, BeatBox is poised to thrive

throughout COVID-19 and beyond.

In 2014, BeatBox’s co-founders

pitched BeatBox Beverage on

ABC’s Shark Tank. Justin, Aimy

& Brad received three offers,

in total, from Mark Cuban,

Barbara Corcoran and Kevin

O'Leary. The three ultimately

accepted a $1M investment

from Mark Cuban’s.

The days of cheap wine product from boxes

have been replaced with premium options.

This change has occurred thanks to pioneers

such as BeatBox.

BeatBox may have once been a

fantastic addition to any social setting,

but now could be considered a

necessity with current dynamics at

universities.

“The liquid is amazing, and it looks like

BeatBox has another winner with this

new Peach flavor,” stated Mark Ostoits,

Vice President for the Southeast at

Circle K.

You might talk about beerification," one

taster said to me, "but this product is all

about youthification. I can see someone

running into a convenience store and

buying a box to take to the lake. It's

perfect for that.

United through a love of music and

inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of

Austin, TX, the founders of BeatBox set

out to create something that could help

everyone #PartyBetter.

BeatBox Beverages started as a humble

homemade cocktail and has grown to be

one of the biggest disruptors in the single

serving beverage market.
