 Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 10, 2025, Splash Beverage Group, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into a Subscription and Investment Representation Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Robert Nistico, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one thousand (1,000) Series A Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The sale closed on June 9, 2025.

 

The Series A Preferred Shares were issued to the Purchaser in connection with a prospective special meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”). As disclosed in the preliminary proxy statement filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Special Meeting (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”), the Purchaser only has the right to vote on the following items at the Special Meeting:

 

● To approve an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company, in light of the Company’s 1-for-40 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding and authorized common stock on March 27, 2025, to maintain flexibility to issue shares of common stock to raise cash in one or more equity financings to fund our operations, to effect future awards under stockholder-approved equity incentive plans or for other general corporate purposes;

 

The Series A Preferred Shares would be automatically redeemed following the Company’s shareholders approval of the Conversion Proposals at the Special Meeting. Additional information regarding the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares is contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated by reference herein. Additional information about the Special Meeting can be found in the Preliminary Proxy Statement filed with the SEC.

 

The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and certain indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Subscription Agreement also provides that the Purchaser shall grant an irrevocable proxy to certain officers of the Company to vote the Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Certificate of Designation (as defined below).

 

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein. Based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in the Subscription Agreement, the offering and sale of the Series A Preferred Shares was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On June 9, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation” and, collectively with the Subscription Agreement, the “Issuance Documents”) classifying and designating the Series A Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which Certificate of Designation became effective on June 9, 2025.

 


 

The Certificate of Designation provides that each Series A Preferred Share will have twenty-five thousand (25,000) votes and will vote together with the Company’s outstanding common shares, par value $0.001 (the “Common Shares”), as a single class, only with respect to the proposal related to the increase of authorized shares at the Special Meeting.

 

The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares has granted an irrevocable proxy to certain officers of the Company to vote the Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Issuance Documents, in connection with the Special Meeting. Per the terms of the Issuance Documents, if voted, the Series A Preferred Shares are required to vote on the applicable proposals in the same “mirrored” proportion aggregate votes cast “FOR” and “AGAINST” on the proposal to increase the authorized shares by the holders of the Common Shares who properly vote on such proposal (but excluding any abstentions).

 

The Series A Preferred Shares are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. Other than a right to receive a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price, the Series A Preferred Shares have no rights with respect to any distribution of assets of the Company, including upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, change-of-control, dissolution or winding up of the Company, in each case whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The Series A Preferred Shares do not entitle its holder to receive dividends of any kind.

 

The outstanding Series A Preferred Shares are required to be redeemed in whole, but not in part, upon the earliest of: (i) if such redemption is authorized and directed by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the increase of the authorized shares at any meeting of shareholders or (iii) immediately prior to the record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company Upon such redemption, the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares will receive aggregate consideration equal to the Purchase Price.

 

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Series A Preferred Shares

 

SUBSCRIPTION AND INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of June 10, 2025, is by and between Splash Beverage Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Subscriber”). In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good, valuable and adequate consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Agreement of Sale; Closing. The Company agrees to sell to Subscriber, and Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company, one thousand (1,000) shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Securities”), which Securities shall have the voting rights, designations, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Designation”). Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees to the entire terms of the Certificate of Designation, including, without limitation, the voting rights in Section 3, the restrictions on transfer of the Securities in Section 5 and the redemption of the Securities pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designation. The purchase price will be paid by the Subscriber to the Company in cash at the price of $1.00 per share.

2.Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. In consideration of the Company’s offer to sell the Securities, and in addition to the purchase price to be paid, Subscriber hereby covenants, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

a. Information About the Company.

i. Subscriber has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the business, management, and financial and compliance affairs of the Company and the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Securities contemplated hereby. Subscriber has had an opportunity to obtain, and has received, any additional information deemed necessary by the Subscriber to verify such information in order to form a decision concerning an investment in the Company.

ii. Subscriber has been advised to seek legal counsel and financial and tax advice concerning Subscriber’s investment in the Company hereunder.

b. Restrictions on Transfer. Subscriber covenants, represents and warrants that the Securities are being purchased for Subscriber’s own personal account and for Subscriber’s individual investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same, that Subscriber has made no agreement with others regarding any of such Securities, and that Subscriber’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of the Securities in the foreseeable future. Moreover, Subscriber acknowledges that any of the aforementioned actions may require the prior written consent of the Company’s board of directors pursuant to the Certificate of Designation. Subscriber is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Securities with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained by Subscriber for the acquisition of the Securities and for which the Securities were pledged as security, would represent an intent inconsistent with the covenants, warranties and representations set forth above. Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state or foreign securities laws in reliance on exemptions from registration under these laws, and that, accordingly, the Securities may not be resold by the undersigned (i) unless they are registered under both the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or are sold in transactions which are exempt from such registration, and (ii) except in compliance with Section 5 of the Certificate of Designation, which may require the prior written consent of the Company’s board of directors. Subscriber therefore agrees not to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities (i) unless a registration statement relating thereto has been duly filed and become effective under the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws, or unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company no such registration is required under the circumstances, and (ii) except in compliance with Section 5 of the Certificate of Designation. There is not currently, and it is unlikely that in the future there will exist, a public market for the Securities; and accordingly, for the above and other reasons, Subscriber may not be able to liquidate an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period.


c. High Degree of Economic Risk. Subscriber realizes that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of economic risk to the Subscriber, including the risks of receiving no return on the investment and/or of losing Subscriber’s entire investment in the Company. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Securities, including the total loss of such investment. The Company can make no assurance regarding its future financial performance or as to the future profitability of the Company.

d. Suitability. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial, legal and business matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Subscriber has obtained, to the extent deemed necessary, Subscriber’s own personal professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in, and the suitability of, an investment in the Securities in light of Subscriber’s financial condition and investment needs. Subscriber believes that the investment in the Securities is suitable for Subscriber based upon Subscriber’s investment objectives and financial needs, and Subscriber has adequate means for providing for Subscriber’s current financial needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Securities. Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness for investment, nor any recommendation or endorsement, of the Securities.

e. Tax Liability. Subscriber has reviewed with Subscriber’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has and will rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, representatives, employees or affiliates or subsidiaries. Subscriber understands that Subscriber (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Subscriber’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Under penalties of perjury, Subscriber certifies that Subscriber is not subject to back-up withholding either because Subscriber has not been notified that Subscriber is subject to back-up withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends, or because the Internal Revenue Service has notified Subscriber that Subscriber is no longer subject to back-up withholding.

f. Residence. Subscriber’s present principal residence or business address, and the location where the securities are being purchased, is located in the State of Connecticut.

g. Limitation Regarding Representations. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no covenants, representations or warranties have been made to Subscriber by the Company or any agent, representative, employee, director or affiliate or subsidiary of the Company and in entering into this transaction, Subscriber is not relying on any information, other than that contained herein and the results of independent investigation by Subscriber without any influence by the Company or those acting on the Company’s behalf. Subscriber agrees it is not relying on any oral or written information not expressly included in this Agreement, including but not limited to the information which has been provided by the Company, its directors, its officers or any affiliate or subsidiary of any of the foregoing.

h. Authority.

i. Entity. If the undersigned is not an individual but an entity, the individual signing on behalf of such entity and the entity jointly and severally agree and certify that (a) the undersigned was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities and (b) this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action(s) on the part of the undersigned, has been duly executed by an authorized officer, agent or representative of the undersigned, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned enforceable in accordance with its terms.

ii. Individual. If the undersigned is an individual, the undersigned is of legal age.

3.Legend. Subscriber consents to the notation of the Securities with the following legend reciting restrictions on the transferability of the Securities:

The Securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and have not been registered under any state securities laws. These Securities may not be sold, offered for sale or transferred, without first obtaining (i) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such sale or transfer lawfully is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and under the applicable state securities laws or (ii) such registration. Moreover, these Securities may be transferred only in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Shares, a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of the Company.


 

PARAGRAPH 4 IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXEMPTIONS FROM THE SECURITIES ACT AND STATE LAWS BEING RELIED ON BY THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES HEREUNDER. ALL OF SUCH INFORMATION WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL AND WILL BE REVIEWED ONLY BY THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL. THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES TO FURNISH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL DEEM NECESSARY TO VERIFY THE RESPONSES SET FORTH BELOW.

4.Accredited Status. Subscriber covenants, represents and warrants that it does qualify as an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act because the undersigned satisfies the criteria indicated in Exhibit B hereto. Subscriber further covenants, represents and warrants that the information provided under the heading “Accredited Investor Status” in Exhibit B to this Agreement is true and correct. The information provided under this section of the Agreement is required in connection with the exemptions from the Securities Act and state securities laws being relied on by the Company with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities. The undersigned agrees to furnish any additional information which the Company or its legal counsel deem necessary in order to verify the responses set forth above.

5.Holding Status. Subscriber desires that the Securities be held as set forth on the signature page hereto.

6. Irrevocable Proxy. Subscriber hereby grants to Robert Nistico, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and William Devereux, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or either of them, with full power of substitution in each, an irrevocably proxy coupled with an interest to attend any meeting of shareholders of the Company and vote the Securities on any proposals to increase the authorized shares of the Company (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) in the same proportion as the votes cast by outstanding common stock of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (excluding any Common Stock that are not voted for any reason, including any abstentions) on the increase of authorized shares proposal (and, for the purposes of clarity, the Securities have no rights to vote on any matters other than as set forth in Section 3 of the Certificate of Designation).

7. Confidentiality. Subscriber will make no written or other public disclosures regarding the Company and its business, the terms or existence of the proposed or actual sale of Securities or regarding the parties to the proposed or actual sale of Securities to any individual or organization without the prior written consent of the Company, except as may be required by law.

8. Notice. Correspondence regarding the Securities should be directed to Subscriber at the address provided by Subscriber to the Company in writing. Subscriber is a bona fide resident of the state of Connecticut.

9. No Assignment or Revocation; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement, nor any interest herein, shall be assignable or otherwise transferable, restricted or limited by Subscriber without prior written consent of the Company. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate, modify or revoke this Agreement in any way and that the Agreement shall survive the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of Subscriber. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

10. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and each current and future officer, director, employee, agent, representative and shareholder, if any, of the Subscriber from and against any and all costs, loss, damage or liability associated with this Agreement and the issuance and voting of the Securities.

11. Modifications. This Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned or otherwise amended, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Subscriber and the Company. No delay or failure of the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a waiver of such right or of any other rights.


 

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits hereto are the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereto and thereto. This Agreement, including the exhibits, supersede any previous oral or written communications, representations, understandings or agreements with the Company or with any officers, directors, agents or representatives of the Company.

13. Severability. In the event that any paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such paragraph or provision shall, as to that jurisdiction, be adjusted and reformed, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties hereunder, and if such paragraph or provision cannot be adjusted and reformed, such paragraph or provision shall, for the purposes of that jurisdiction, be voided and severed from this Agreement, and the entire Agreement shall not fail on account thereof but shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, subject to, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles.

15. Survival of Covenants, Representations and Warranties.
