Pusser's : Brand Overview The Pusser's global brand traces its origin back to 1655 when Great Britain’s Royal Navy first introduced navy rum

into their fleet, thus creating what was to become known as “The Pusser's Tradition.”

On July 31, 1970, the First Sea Lord, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Michael Le Fanu, ordered that the 350 years old tradition of the daily issue of Pusser's Rum on board British warships cease. This date , known as “Black Tot Day,” is celebrated each year around the world, particularly in English speaking countries with their tie to the Royal Navy.

In 1979, Charles Tobias -- entrepreneur, sailor, and global adventurer -- secured the rights to the name and blending formula of this 350 year old tradition and launched British Navy Pusser's Rum from his base in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), a Crown Colony of Great Britain. The BVI are renowned as the Charter Boat Capital of the World, and the potential exposure to his Pusser's Brand was obvious. For the first time, the Royal Navy’s treasured rum was commercially available. It has since won six gold, double gold and platinum medals and two Masters awards in the world’s most prestigious competitions, creating a cult following for the Pusser's Brand and its Pusser’s products with sailors and boaters around the world.

Today, the Pusser's Brand is a global lifestyle brand that blends its authentic 350 year old nautical tradition with “a taste of the real Caribbean” in three related segments: spirits, food & beverage, and lifestyle merchandise of its own proprietary design. All of the key elements of a successful, scalable business are in place. Pusser's is not a start-from-scratch concept, but one that has been profitable for over 30 years. It is a brand that is known to most every sailor worldwide and in the major marinas in the United States. It is an aspirational brand which can be scaled quickly and profitably with the right management and financial backing.

No Lifestyle Brand can connect with sailors and boaters better than Pusser's. Thus the Pusser's concept of placing Pusser's restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail stores in select marinas and waterfront locations connects to the sailing heritage of the brand and its International following which the brand enjoys amongst the nautical community around the world. There is enormous demand from individual and major developers, marina owners, and operators to have a Pusser's Landings in their marinas and waterfront communities as part of our overall branding concept. The market potential within this affluent group is immense, with over 14,000 marinas just in the United States. A Pusser's flag in a marina will create a consistent branded marina experience for boat owners and a halo effect to the overall Pusser's Brand. There is nothing like the authenticity of Pusser’s to brand marinas around the world. 3

Pusser's Holdings: Investment Summary Harbor Cap Partners (HCP) is focused on providing expansion capital to existing consumer brands, and

together with the Founder of Pusser’s, Charles Tobias, and an extremely talented group of operators and advisors has developed a tremendous opportunity to build Pusser's into a major lifestyle brand based in and around US, Caribbean, and International marinas and waterfront locations.

Because of Tied House Rules, the rum business will not be purchased and is run by Pusser's Rum Limited. Pusser’s Holdings will own all other segments of the brand except for the spirits classification, which includes all other trademarks for apparel, food, accessories, restaurants, bars, etc. The growth and profit potential of the non-rum side of the business is tremendous and far exceeds that of the rum side.

The Pusser’s consolidation and growth plan requires HCP to invest new capital to purchase all of the remaining Pusser's operations in the BVI and the US, in partnership with Charles Tobias and Gary Rogalski (part owner/operator of the Pusser's US operations) This will consolidate the 5 existing restaurants, 5 retail operations, all of the apparel and merchandising operations, including the internet.

HCP, Tobias, and Rogalski have assembled a strong management and board advisory team, including such consumer brand visionaries as Neil Fiske (current CEO of Billabong, former CEO of Bath & Body Works, Eddie Bauer, and 14 years at Boston Consulting) and William Sweedler (Co-Founder of Tengram Capital Partners and former CEO of Windsong Brands), to advise the company on achieving its growth objectives.

Pusser's Holdings LLC is raising $10 million of capital for a 50+% ownership which will allow HCP to complete the purchase of all of the remaining assets of the Pusser's US and BVI operations for approximately $6 million, and will provide the working capital necessary for the expansion and development of the Pusser's lifestyle brand across all channels. All Pusser’s Intellectual Property and Trademarks were purchased in 2014. The current owner of the US will rollover 50% of their equity ($2.75M) into Pusser’s Holdings, as one of the partners is retiring. Pusser’s Holdings would initially generate over $20 million in sales and a $1.8 million EBITDA in year one as a combined company. This investment is not being valued as a multiple of current EBITDA, but as the acquisition of Intellectual Property of a great brand with significant assets, growth potential, and enormous upside.

Pusser’s Holdings objective is to achieve an enterprise value in excess of $100 million within three to four years, culminating in an IPO and public listing to help attract additional capital for global expansion. 4

The father of the most famous signal in the Code Book : “Splice the Main Brace”!

The Pusser's tradition began in 1655 when Great Britain’s Royal Navy replaced the daily beer ration on its ships with what we know today as Pusser's Rum. One pint a day, a blend of five Caribbean rums, was issued by the purser to his ship’s crew. Over the years, items issued by the purser, came to be called Pusser's – thus the name “Pusser's Rum.” This Pusser‘s tradition continued for more than three centuries until discontinued by the First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy’s Admiralty Board in 1970. In 1979, with the Admiralty’s blessing, Charles Tobias resurrected the Royal Navy’s rum as a commercial brand after securing rights to its name, the original blending formula, and the right to use the Navy’s White Ensign on a label. Thus 350 years of colorful, authentic Pusser's tradition was rescued from the scrap heap of history. Today Pusser's is positioned to become one of the world’s great brands.

A Note on Authenticity

Unlike other so-called Caribbean brands, Pusser's is the real deal. Our history in the BVI goes back to the British colonial period. We are Caribbean and we bring that authenticity to everything we do.

Increasingly consumers are looking for authenticity and genuine differentiation in the brands they choose. They want to be part of something that is both real and aspirational . . . true stories that inspire and spread like wildfire through word of mouth. They can tell the real from the fake and want to be in the club of insiders who really know the difference.

We live here. Our products and services capture the true essence of the Caribbean. Every product, every service has provenance and purpose . . . a point of origin and a reason for being. We are the original, authentic Caribbean lifestyle brand and it shows in everything we do.

People prefer the real thing to the artificial. Pusser's is real Caribbean – whether you are in the Caribbean or just wish you were.

• No lifestyle brand connects with sailors and boaters like Pusser's. Thus the Pusser's Landings concept, with restaurant, bar and store, on or near water, connects to the sailing heritage of the brand and its cult-like following among sailors around the world. There is strong interest from individual and major marina owners/operators to flag marinas with the Pusser’s brand and this represents a significant expansion opportunity for the Pusser’s Landings concept.

• Market potential is immense, with over 14,000 marinas in the United States alone. A Pusser's flagged marina will create a consistent branded marina experience for boat owners and a halo to the overall Pusser's brand. Marinas will take the name of their location, for example, “Pusser's Landing - Key West.” The Pusser's name will be licensed to marina owner/operators who meet strict service and brand standards. Pusser's Holdings will operate the restaurant/stores within the marina facility. The Landings concept will be supported with low cost, highly targeted advertising in waterway guides and the internet. Names and emails of boaters will be captured for our catalog and internet business. Enhances the building of the following that Pusser's already enjoys amongst its high net worth and well-connected patrons.

• Unit economics for restaurant/bars/stores − Sales: $4.0 million − Mix: 55% food, 35% beverage, 10% Merchandise − Four wall EBITDA: $600,000; 15% − Net capital investment: $750,000/unit

• Goal is to open 15 company-owned units over 5 years, with a long term market potential of 50-100 globally.

• The Grille concept is similar in many ways to a Pusser's Landing. The main differentiating factor: Grilles are located outside of marinas. It has a restaurant and bar format that delivers “A taste of the Real Caribbean” with authentic Caribbean cuisine and our extensive Pusser's Rum Drink Menu, plus an assortment of best selling Pusser's merchandise. The typical Caribbean Grille occupies 5,000-6,000 square feet, with 200-250 seats indoors. Where appropriate, outdoor seating is also offered.

• These concepts are based on more than 25 years experience developing and operating the Pusser's F&B concept, both in the US and the Caribbean. Unit economics and the product have been steadily improved as the concept has been refined. Unit economics in the plan are:

− Sales: $4.0 million − Mix: 55% food, 35% drink, 10 % merchandise − EBITDA: $600,000, 15% − Net capital investment: $750,000/unit

• Of the 15 company-owned restaurants that will be opened over the next five years, with an additional 20 to be franchised, a mix of these will be Pusser’s Caribbean Grilles.

• Further differentiation of the Pusser's Brand will be achieved by having our Master Chef and Master Barman author definitive books; one on Caribbean cuisine, and the other on Caribbean drinks. These will be featured in our marketing collateral, and will play a major role in selling the Pusser's Brand as the definitive authority on genuine Caribbean food and drink.

Bar format (1,500-3,000 sq feet) with broad demographic appeal, especially among younger consumers. Bars will feature Pusser's Rum and the Pusser's colorful proprietary drink menu, along with a wide range of the best rums from around the world. The food menu will be narrowly focused on a few key, easily prepared finger-food items. The closest item to a meal will be a hamburger with sweet potato fries.

Our assessment and belief in the potential of this concept is based on two factors: 1) thirty one years of selling the Painkiller® while watching its cult-like following continuing to grow; and 2) the phenomenal success of our licensee, Pusser's Painkiller Bar, Munich, which is now recognized as the number one bar in Germany, and one of the best in Europe – operated by our Master Barman, Bill Deck.

Locations are planned in downtown hotspots and in airports. We plan to open 24 company-owned Painkiller Rum Bars in the next five years, and to license an additional 15. Long-term potential could be 100 bars around the world.

Unit economics: − Sales: $2.0 million − Mix: 55% beverage, 43% food, 2% merchandise − EBITDA: $420,000, 21% − Capital Investment: $450,000

Pusser’s Painkiller Rum Bars will be a part of a broader marketing program that builds Pusser's brand visibility. For example: April 15th will be marketed across Landings, Grilles and Bars in the US as “National Painkiller Day (trademarked by Pusser's).” Pusser’s Painkiller Rum Bars will also play an important role in gaining names for our catalog and internet business.

Master Barman, Bill Deck

Pusser’s Painkiller Rum Bars

Every brand prays for a signature drink. And Pusser's has one of the fastest-growing and best-known cocktails in the world -- the Painkiller®! It originated at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. When the owner of the bar, Daphne Henderson, a good friend of Charles Tobias, jokingly refused to give him the recipe, he proceeded to perfect his own. Through trial and error, he eventually arrived at 4-1-1: over the rocks – four parts pineapple juice, one part fresh orange juice, one part cream of coconut, and Pusser's Rum to taste, with fresh nutmeg grated on top. No other bars offered the Painkiller, and seeing it a vehicle for growth, Tobias began to promote it zealously in all of his BVI bars. The drink’s notoriety spread and the drink’s popularity continues to rank it among the fastest growing cocktails of recent years. It was with Daphne’s blessing that he trademarked the drink in the major countries of the world. See the Painkiller® story at:

The name Painkiller for bars is trademarked and has exceptional name recognition and consumer attraction, both as a drink and as a bar. The Painkiller® is one of the fastest growing drinks in the US.

Of note, the Rum Jungle in Las Vegas was the US’s largest bar with annual sales of $22 million. Its most popular drink was the Painkiller®. And the most popular drink at the Pusser's Rum Bar in Munich is also the Painkiller ®.

A Pusser's “Mug Tree” loaded with mugs identified with the bar, stands on every Pusser's bar.

“Emotional Branding is the conduit by which people connect subliminally with companies and their products in an emotionally profound way. Today, more than ever in this age of customization and personalization, the Emotional Branding approach can be the crucial defining element that separates success from indifference in the marketplace”, writes Al Ries in his book ‘FOCUS’.

With its Caribbean roots and operations, Pusser's is perfectly positioned to fully utilize the concept of Emotional Branding. The Pusser's settings are lush and tropical, and the atmosphere charged with romance and escape – picture perfect for Emotional Bridge Building, for introducing patrons to the “Pusser's Experience” – where the emotional connection is readily made.

We plan to capitalize on this unique opportunity by licensing Pusser's units throughout the Caribbean, increasing our brand’s annual exposure from the BVI’s 400,000 visitor base to more than 6,000,000. Successful implementation will elevate Pusser's to dominate our category in the region as THE CARIBBEAN’S AUTHORITATIVE BRAND. The benefits from this positioning will be substantial.

We plan to license Pusser's Caribbean units in select locations in Bermuda, the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Grand Cayman, Grenada, Barbados, St. Kitts, St. Martin, Antigua, Anguilla, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico. When implemented, an additional 6 million Caribbean visitors will have been added to the Pusser's exposure base.

• In Great Britain’s Royal Navy, the Purser was the supply officer in charge of ship’s stores. The word “Pusser” became slang for purser and so became associated with a wide variety of merchandise sold or issued to the crews – “Pusser's Rum,” “Pusser's Sweater,” “Pusser's Cheese,” “Pusser's Leaf” (tobacco), “Pusser's Loaf “(biscuits), etc. If something is said to be Pusser's, it is the same as saying, “It’s the best”!

• We continue this centuries old Pusser's tradition by bringing forward a distinctive range of quality, authentic, tropical and nautical merchandise. Our objective is to build a direct to consumer business that will generate $50 million in annual sales in five years, with the potential to grow to more than $200 million over the longer term. Our initial focus will be on building the catalog/internet business using the permission marketing database we have built and continue to build in our Landings, Grilles, and Bars, and from the social media supporting the Pusser's brand. We also intend to test the specialty retail store venue to gauge the potential of a larger store roll out.

• “Tropical – Nautical” is a merchandise category created by Pusser's. Our products include clothing designed for the tropics and sailors visiting the sailing capital of the world, the BVI. Our products provide high-quality, authenticity and an emotional bond to the islands, the sea and boating.

• A new merchandising team will take the successes of a base $2.5 million product line and grow it in five categories:

− Men’s and Women’s Apparel

− Accessories, Leather Goods, Bath and Body

− Rum Cake and Condiments

− Home

− Giftables

“Splice the Main Brace”! The great sailing ships were propelled only by the wind in their sails which were attached to spars called yards. The lines to trim the sails were called braces and ran from the ends of the yards to the deck. The main brace was the largest and heaviest of all the rigging up to 20" diameter on the big ships. To splice it was one of the most difficult tasks on board ship. Sometimes in the heat of battle, the braces were shot away making the ship unmanageable. To those who “Spliced the Main Brace” went a double issue of rum. It became customary to always “Splice the Main Brace” before battle, always after victory, and to reward a ship's crew, or sometimes the entire fleet, with the order to "Splice the Main Brace!”, which meant a double issue of rum for a job well done. The ritual was always preceded by hoisting the flag signal to “Splice the Main Brace”! In recent times, to say to a friend, "Let’s Splice the Main Brace“! is akin to saying "Let's have a drink”!

Today, this flag signal design, for which Pusser's holds the trademark, is a well-recognized logo used by Pusser's on much of its apparel.

Licensing opportunities would be available to Pusser's as soon as it achieves a certain critical mass, a “tipping point,” sufficient to arouse interest in third parties. Their successful implementation would have a significant positive effect on financial performance and company valuation. (only five stand-alone stores are included in our projections thru 2017 and no wholesale sales).

Stand-alone retail stores • 1,000-2,000 Square Foot Pusser's Outpost

• Select assortment of our best-selling product

• Could generate $600-1,000 per square foot

• $600K-2 million sales per store

• 30% four wall EBITDA

• Long range potential for 25-50 stores generating $15-$45 million

• Would benefit from superior multi-channel economics

Wholesale • With a 60% margin, Pusser's will have the opportunity to sell profitably into select retailers

• Our view is that this is best done after we’ve built the demand through our direct selling efforts

Licensing • Exclusive retail partners

• Select categories where we may not have critical mass or competency (e.g., swimwear, home)
