Watertown, NY, April 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 1812 BREWING COMPANY, INC. (OTC Pink: KEGS) (the "Company") announced that it has agreed to cancel five hundred million (500,000,000) common stock shares held by its CEO, Tom Scozzafava. Further, the CEO stated that he could retire or exchanging as many shares that he owns to help increase overall shareholder value regardless. “My interest is in the long-term viability and growth of the Company, and I am committed to doing what is in the interest of just that.”
In previous releases, the Company announced that it had restructured the terms of convertible debentures with a then-aggregate face value of over $860,000, which reduced the face value of the debt to $250,000 and eliminated its equity conversion feature. The Company stated at the time that was seeking similar concessions from other larger Note holders. More recently the Company announced that it intends to decrease the shares authorized by 50% and possibly by another 50% from that level. The Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation for the reduction of the Company’s Authorized Shares have been approved and sent to the Division of Corporations in its home state. Once approved by the state, the amendment will be sent to the Company’s transfer agent.
Besides restructuring its capital table, the Company will focus on its previously announced strategy of acquisitions and investments. 1812 Brewing Co. had previously announced that it had formed the wholly owned subsidiary, 1812 Acquisition Company, to seek out strategic investments and/or acquisitions. Specifically, the Company will seek out breweries that further its overall strategy and that complement its current holdings. This could mean seeking out targets whose distribution footprint broadens the portfolio’s geographic reach. It may also mean seeking targets whose products would broaden the Company’s product mix, with those such as hard ciders or hard seltzers for example.
