GLENDALE, Ariz., Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Alkaline Water Company, Inc. (OTC: WTER -- hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), a leader in the beverage industry known for its purified alkaline water, enhanced with Himalayan rock salt, today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with FZA Note Buyers LLC, a Florida limited liability company, for a strategic equipment acquisition proposed to be fulfilled through the issuance of 34,000,000 shares of Common Stock (Restricted) subject to a 12-month lock-up period (the "Proposed Shares").
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, the Shares would be subject to a strict 12-month holding period, with no impact on the Company's current public float or near-term trading dynamics. This proposed structure would allow the Company to enhance its production capabilities and operational efficiency while preserving cash, without affecting current market trading conditions.
"This Letter of Intent for strategic equipment acquisition represents another potential milestone in our company's transformation," said Ricky Wright, CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. "Through vertical integration and improved operational efficiencies, we project cost savings and operational improvements up to $2 million during the first year of operations. The proposed transaction would secure essential production equipment through a share-based structure with a 12-month restriction period, potentially improving our operational capabilities while maintaining our strengthened cash position. If completed as contemplated, this structure would allow us to achieve these substantial savings without impacting our current trading float, enabling us to further execute our growth initiatives and strengthen our market presence."
Upon securing a facility lease and completion of due diligence, the Company expects to close the transaction and execute definitive agreements. Following closing, the Company plans a rapid 30-day implementation timeline for equipment integration into its production infrastructure. This proposed acquisition would complement our recent inventory agreement and position us for improved operational efficiency and cost control.
