On June 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), NewAge, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), with Aliven, Inc. (the “Seller”) under which the Company acquired the assets of Aliven Inc., a Japan-based direct selling company (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition closed upon entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement.
On the Closing Date, the Company issued the Seller 1,071,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stock was offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by the parties.

It is not intended to provide any other information about the Company, the Seller, its business, or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.

Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the Seller, its business, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, and covenants may change after the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company, the Seller, or their subsidiaries or affiliates.
