Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us may contain so-called "forward-looking statements," all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expects," "plans," "will," "forecasts," "projects," "intends," "estimates," and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.
Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or included data from all sources, and cannot assure investors of the accuracy or completeness of the data included in this Current Report. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Item 5.03. Amendments to articles of incorporation or bylaws; change in fiscal year
On June 29, 2016, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the
Secretary of State of Washington. As a result of the Amendment, the Company has changed its name with the State of Washington to New Age Beverages Corporation. A copy of the Articles of Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.01. The name change was approved by FINRA and became market effective on August 5, 2016.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 3, 2016, the board of directors of New Age Beverages Corporation, a Washington corporation ("we" or the "Company"), authorized and accepted the New Age Beverages Corporation 2016-2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to attract able persons to enter the employ or to serve as Directors or Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates and to provide a means whereby those individuals upon whom the responsibilities of the successful administration and management of the Company and its Affiliates rest, and whose present and potential contributions to the Company and its Affiliates are of importance, can acquire and maintain stock ownership, thereby strengthening their concern for the welfare of the Company and its Affiliates. A further purpose of the Plan is to provide such individuals with additional incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance the profitable growth of the Company and its Affiliates. Accordingly, the Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Options that do not constitute Incentive Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Phantom Stock Awards, Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards, or any combination of the foregoing, as is best suited to the circumstances of the particular employee, Consultant, or Director as provided herein.
The shares of our Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Plan will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Certificates representing these shares will contain a legend stating the restrictions applicable to such shares.
