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,summary highlights certain South American countries, the United Kingdom and/or the European Union);

Our Strategywholly owned subsidiary, Splash Beverage Group II, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name TapouT Beverages, Inc. for the purpose of acquiring the rights under a license agreement with TapouT, LLC (Authentic Brands Group). We have license rights to the TapouT Performance brand in North America (Including US Territories and Military Bases), United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa, Scandinavia, Peru, Colombia, Chile and Guatemala.

In addition, we have a joint venture with SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila, Copa Di Vino wines and Pulpoloco, sangrias that comes in a biodegradable can. The Company leadership understand the importance of infusing beverage brands with strong pop culture and lifestyle elements which drives trial, belief and, most importantly, repeat purchases.

Corporate Information

 

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.

held by the selling stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. 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.

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.

In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that thedirector, officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The prior discussionrepresentative of ours. Any indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado.Nevada.

 

Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions. However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
