AMASS Brands Inc (“AMASS”) is a Delaware corporation with our principal place of business in Santa Maria. Founded in 2016, AMASS is building a diversified premium beverage platform at the intersection of craft, wellness, and functionality. Our mission is to modernize drinking occasions with products that are premium, health-conscious, and culturally resonant. We operate across multiple categories—spirits, wine, and non-alcoholic alternatives—creating a uniquely diversified portfolio aligned with long-term consumer shifts toward moderation, premiumization, and wellness. Our brands are distributed primarily in the United States through wholesale, on-premise, direct-to-consumer (“DTC”), with limited international activity through third-party partners, reaching more than 40,000 points of sale. We are continuously evaluating and adjusting our portfolio, investments and strategy. The markets in which we operate are subject to evolving consumer preferences and broader industry dynamics. For example, although the wine category in North America is expected to expand in the future, certain metrics such as declining volumes in recent years signal changes in demographics and preferences. Because declining consumption has made growth more challenging, we have taken steps to revise our wine portfolio accordingly. Similarly, we are taking a disciplined approach to our spirits segment, with near-term deprioritization in 2026 while we look for opportunities for renewed growth in the future. --- We maintain commercial relationships with a number of customers across our wine and spirits portfolio. One such customer is Full Glass Wine Co. (“Full Glass”). Our contracts and ongoing commercial dealings with Full Glass include fixed-price and minimum purchase/take-or-pay obligations, and a supplier arrangement under which we sell certain finished goods at prices below our cost of production. As a result, during 2024, we incurred losses on the sale of finished goods under our contracts of $0.8 million. In order to partially fulfil this supplier agreement, the Company maintains firm purchase commitment contracts for bulk wine whereby the net realizable value of committed purchases is below the firm purchase commitment value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a liability of $2.9 million in relation to the firm purchase commitment contracts with a corresponding charge during 2024. Losses are expected to continue for the supplier contract. Full Glass is currently in default under a multi-year production agreement and a settlement is being negotiated. Our losses associated with certain arrangements with Full Glass have had, and may continue to have, material adverse effects on our gross profit and cash flows. Our principal address is in Santa Maria, CA.
