Bayhawk Ales, Inc. Shareholder,
I am pleased to announce that the vote for the asset purchase transaction, where Evans Brewing Company Inc. (“Evans Brewing”) will purchase the assets of Bayhawk Ales, Inc. (“Bayhawk”) has been completed and that a whopping 99% of all votes were in favor of the asset purchase transaction.
It is imperative that you return in the attached form to us as soon as possible to receive your shares in Evans Brewing Company, Inc.You will NOT have to send us your stock certificate to receive your shares in Evans. We have your Bayhawk shares registered electronically. You have only 75 days from the end of the vote, September 18, 2015, to send in this form as outlined in the S-4. Your returned letter must be postmarked no later than December 2nd, 2015.
On the form, you can indicate if you want an Evans Brewing stock certificate in electronic form (at no cost) or you can have a physical certificate issued for a cost of $30.00. Most will choose to keep their stock certificate in electronic form with of the transfer agent as there is no cost to do so. Also, keeping your stock in electronic form prevents the loss of a certificate and the time delay that will cause if you decide to sell your stock in the future.
Your stock will be officially converted to Evans Brewing Company stock on December 3rd, 2015 at the completion of the transfer period. We will be applying for our stock trading symbol as soon as allowed by FINRA, the agency that issues stock symbols. We are already working with a SEC registered firm that will handle the trading of our stock on the Over the Counter market.
We anticipate that Bayhawk’s corporate existence will be officially dissolved by December 15th,2015. The transfer of assets from Bayhawk to Evans Brewing will occur during this transfer period.
We will have a new website soon and there will be an “In the News” page that will contain all of our press releases on the company. That is the best way you can keep informed. Our new website address will bewww.evansbrewco.com. Any questions about the company can be directed to 714-443-0099 orinvestors@evansbrewco.com
As I have stated may times, thank you for your patience. We have many exciting plans going forward.
