| 6. | Representations by Buyers. Each of the Buyers represents and warrants to Beeline, for himself and not for any other Buyer, as follows: |
| a. | Buyer Qualification. Buyer is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”). Buyer is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature, and has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and other business matters as to enable Buyer to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. | |
| b. | Nature of Investment. Buyer is able to bear the risk of this investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. Buyer is acquiring the Exchange Shares for Buyer’s’s own account (except as to Gwin, who is acquiring the Exchange Shares for the account of his holding company) for investment and not with a view toward any public offering, resale or distribution of the Exchange Shares. | |
| c. | Information on BSC. Buyer has been furnished with or has had access to information concerning the operations, financial condition, and other matters concerning BSC as Buyer has requested, and considered all factors Buyer deems material in deciding on the advisability of investing in the Exchange Share. | |
| d. | Restricted Security. Buyer is aware that the sale of the Exchange Shares has not been registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities laws of any country, state or province. Therefore, those securities cannot be resold without registration under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. |
| 7. | Representations by Beeline. As of the date hereof, Beeline represents and warrants to the Buyers, and each of them, the following: |
| a. | Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement and the Note Agreement (collectively “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Beeline and are valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. Beeline has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. |
| Page |
| b. | Capitalization. To the best knowledge of the officers of Beeline, without having made any investigation or inquiry regarding the matters, BSC is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which, as of the date of this Agreement, 1,000,000 shares were issued and outstanding. Beeline has not given any person any option, warrant or contractual right to acquire any share of the Common Stock. | |
| c. | Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over Beeline, nor the consent of Beeline’s stockholders is required for the execution by Beeline of the Transaction Documents or, the compliance and performance by Beeline of its obligations under the Transaction Documents. | |
| d. | Litigation. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of Beeline, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over Beeline that would affect the execution by Beeline of, or the performance by Beeline of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents. | |
| e. | Liabilities. Beeline has not caused BSC to incur any Indebtedness or Contingent Obligation that was not either incurred in the ordinary course of business or approved by Gwin as the President of BSC. |
| 8. | Releases |
| a. | General Release by Beeline. Effective on and subject to the Closing, Beeline does forever discharge each of BSC and the Buyers of and from all, and all manner of, action, cause of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, notes, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, executions, claims, and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, that said Beeline ever had, now has, or that any personal representative, successor, heir, or assign of Beeline hereafter can, shall, or may have, against any BSC or the Buyers for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, up to and including the Closing Date, except with respect to any obligations or liabilities provided for or arising under the Transaction Documents. In particular, and without limiting the breadth of the previous sentence, Beeline hereby waives irrevocably any financial obligation of BSC to Beeline, including any amount classified on the financial statements of BSC or Beeline as “due from (BSC) to (Beeline),” except with respect to any obligations or liabilities provided for or arising under the Transaction Documents. | |
| b. | General Release by BSC. Effective on and subject to the Closing, BSC does forever discharge Beeline of and from all, and all manner of, action, cause of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, notes, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, executions, claims, and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, that said BSC ever had, now has, or that any personal representative, successor, heir, or assign of BSC hereafter can, shall, or may have, against Beeline for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, up to and including the Closing Date, except with respect to any obligations or liabilities provided for or arising under the Transaction Documents.

| Page |
| c. | Partial Release by Buyers. Effective on and subject to the Closing, each Buyer, for himself and not for any other Buyer, does forever discharge Beeline of and from all, and all manner of, action, cause of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, notes, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, executions, claims, and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, that said Buyer ever had, now has, or that any personal representative, successor, heir, or assign of the Buyer hereafter can, shall, or may have, against Beeline for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, up to and including the Closing Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, Buyer specifically does not release Beeline from any obligation, present or future, to indemnify Buyer against liability, whether said right to indemnification arises under a contract, Beeline’s Bylaws, or the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to corporations organized in that state. |

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or event of default hereunder, Lender may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license, sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Maker’s assets and personnel, without charge or liability to Lender therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as Lender deems advisable; provided, however, that Maker shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by Lender and after the obligations and liabilities of Maker hereunder owing to Lender shall have been satisfied therefrom. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption the Grantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by law. Maker hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Lender may (i) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (ii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Collateral Lender deems appropriate, (iii) take possession of Maker’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Maker’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause, and (iv) collecting any obligation or liability secured by the Collateral hereunder.
Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor and protest and agrees that (i) any collateral, lien or right of setoff securing any indebtedness evidenced by this Note may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be exchanged or released, and any person liable on or with respect to this Note may be released, all without notice to or further reservations of rights against Maker, any indorser, surety or guarantor and all without in any way affecting or releasing the liability of Maker, any indorser, surety or guarantor, and (ii) none of the terms or provisions hereof may be waived, altered, modified or amended except as Lender may consent thereto in writing.
Maker hereby agrees to pay all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, in enforcing any of the rights, powers, remedies and privileges of Lender hereunder, or in connection with any further negotiations, modifications, releases, or otherwise incurred by Lender in connection with this Note and the enforcement of its rights hereunder. As used in this Note, the term “attorneys’ fees” shall mean reasonable actual out-of-pocket charges and expenses for legal services rendered to or on behalf of Lender in connection with the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note at any time whether prior to the commencement of judicial proceedings and/or thereafter at the trial and/or appellate level and/or in pre-judgment and post-judgment or bankruptcy proceedings.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such action by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. In any action, Maker and Lender hereby irrevocably waive any right it may have to, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with or arising out of this Note or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing herein shall affect any right that Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Note against Maker or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
To the extent that Lender receives any payment on account of any of Maker’s obligations or liabilities hereunder, and any such payment(s) or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinate and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other person or entity under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment(s) received, Maker’s obligations or liabilities hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) had not been received by Lender and applied on account of Maker’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.

Exhibit 99.1
Beeline Completes Strategic Divestiture to Accelerate Digital Mortgage, Title, and Equity Product Expansion
Providence, Rhode Island—(Newsfile Corp. - July 29, 2025) - Beeline Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLNE) (“Beeline” or the “Company”), the fast-growing digital mortgage platform redefining the path to homeownership, today announced it has disposed of its majority ownership in Bridgetown Spirits Corp. (“Spirits”) in exchange for $367,404 pursuant to a Debt Satisfaction Agreement. As a result, Spirits is no longer a subsidiary of the Company. This asset was the last asset held as a result of its forward merger completed on October 7, 2024 with Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. The move reaffirms Beeline’s focus on proptech, mortgage, alternative equity products and generating SAAS revenue while strengthening its balance sheet.
The transaction closed on Friday, July 25th in which the common stock of Spirits held by the Company was disposed of to a group led by the former CEO of the Company and the President of Spirits, Geoffrey Gwin. As part of the transaction, Beeline will write off certain related accounts payable it had assumed as part of the merger and eliminate the need to fund and account for Spirits. Beeline also funded a $75,000 one-year senior secured term loan to Spirits and in exchange received a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 from Spirits.
Said Chris Moe, CFO of Beeline, “Beeline continues to make moves designed to position itself to capitalize on its new products, an emerging platform and in a market that is expected to recover in 2026. We continue to see strong quarterly revenue growth outpacing the industry averages. We are now in a position to exclusively focus on our business and Bridgetown can move its business forward as a private company allowing itself to focus on its unique Oregon-themed brands.”
Geoffrey Gwin, commented, “I want to thank Chris Moe, CFO and Nick Liuzza, CEO for driving this transaction from the Beeline side. We view the transaction as a win for both sides. Our team is excited to dig in as the next chapter for the Bridgetown Spirits has officially started.”
Beeline expects to report its earnings for the second quarter on August 14, 2025. On July 16, 2025, Ladenberg Thalman & Co. Inc. initiated coverage of Beeline and issued a “Buy rating” with a $4.50 price target. The closing price on Monday, July 28, 2025, was $2.14.
