The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (CSE: TNY) (OTCQB: TNYBF) ("Tinley's" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a corporate update on various initiatives now underway and intended to advance the Company's business and create sustainable shareholder value.
Update on Relocation to Canoga Park
The Company previously announced that it expected to complete its relocation from its Long Beach Facility to the Blaze Life Holdings' ("BLH") facility in Canoga Park, California at the end of Q2 or beginning of Q3 of 2023, but confirms that it now expects the relocation to be completed closer to the end of Q3 or the beginning of Q4. The updated timeframe is primarily a result of delays relating to BLH's receipt of certain municipal licenses and approvals which it requires to operate its state-of-the-art cannabis processing, bottling, canning, and storage/distribution facility in Canoga Park, California (the "BLH Facility"). Final interior renovations and capital improvements to the BLH Facility required to satisfy the municipal licencing inspections and approvals are now underway in order to allow the BLH Facility to become fully operational. The completion of Tinley's relocation to the BLH Facility is expected to coincide with BLH's receipt of such outstanding municipal licenses and approvals.
As previously announced, once Tinley's bottling operations are moved from Long Beach to the BLH Facility, management expects the Company to save approximately USD$1 million annually in overhead operating expenses. Based on these anticipated costs and overhead savings, along with management's revenue targets for cannabis-infused and non-infused products over the next 18-24 months, management now expects that the Company may be in a position to earn positive cash flow by or during the second half of 2024. However, there are many factors that could impact these expectations, including, but not limited to, achieving management's revenue projections and unknown and unexpected future Company expenses.
Update on Current Operations at Long Beach Facility and Lease Extension
Pursuant to the terms of Tinley's existing lease for its the Long Beach Facility, Tinley's was required to vacate the premises by May 31, 2023; however, the Company was able to negotiate a lease extension at a substantially discounted rent in order to allow it to continue to use premises at the Long Beach Facility until July 15, 2023. As at the date of this news release, Tinley's continues to operate its bottling and canning lines at the Long Beach Facility, servicing both Tinley's ongoing clients and new BLH co-packing clients and intends to work with the landlord of the Long Beach Facility to further extend its lease so that it may continue to service its and BLH's clients until such time as it can complete its relocation to the BLH Facility. Additional details relating to the status of the Company's lease of its Long Beach Facility will be announced when more information is available.
Beckett's Non-Infused/Non-Alcoholic Beverages
The sober-curious no-alcohol beverage market in the United States continues to grow. No-alcohol ready-to-drink single serve beverages and no-alcohol multi-serve spirits are both expected to post substantial volume growth, according to credible industry research estimates. The Company continues to be on the cutting edge of this new and growing market segment with its premium-tasting non-infused Beckett's line of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink mocktails and non-alcoholic multi-serve spirits and liqueurs. Tinley's is currently staging ingredients and packaging materials for Q3 2023 production to satisfy new Total Wine & More purchase orders and to build its inventory to more easily satisfy future purchase orders from Total Wine & More and to build on-demand stock for other retail and on-premises customers.
Introducing Beckett's-branded Cannabis-Infused Beverages
Following the move to Canoga Park, Tinley's plans to re-launch its line of cannabis-infused beverages under the brand names Beckett's Tonics and Beckett's '27. This rebrand will include current micro-dosed cannabis-infused beverage products, as well as new higher-potency products and new container formats targeted at higher-dose seeking consumers while maintaining current micro-dose products for the direct-to-consumer home delivery channel. Management believes that the goodwill the Company has built in the Beckett's brand will help its cannabis-infused products gain new momentum in the growing cannabis beverage market in California. "We are a completely different Company today than we were under the previous management team, and it's time to re-brand under one name to position us as market leaders in cannabis-infused and non-infused beverage sectors. We have a great partner in BLH and its state-wide distribution division, Sulo. It's time to show a fresh face and blow wind into Sulo's sails with a strategic relaunch, while leaving the anchors of the past behind," said Tinley's CEO, Teddy Zittell. "We will seek shareholder approval to pass a special resolution changing the Company's name to Beckett's at the Company's next AGM, which we expect to call and hold before year-end."
Update on Executive Salary Deferral
Previously, Tinley's announced that due to cash restrictions and other financial restraints, both the CEO and CFO agreed to defer their salary until such time as the Company was in a position to pay its executive salaries. Tinley is pleased to announce that as a result of considerable costs savings, along with solid co-packing revenues and revenue from the sale of Beckett's non-infused products, the Company is now in a position where it has been able to pay salary to its CFO. The Company's CEO, Teddy Zittell, is continuing to defer his salary for the time being.
Grant of Stock Options
Tinley's also announces the grant of stock options to purchase up to 9,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Company's stock option plan. The stock options will be exercisable at a price of $0.05 per common share for a period of ten years from the date of grant.

The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (CSE: TNY) (OTCQB: TNYBF) ("Tinley's" or the "Company") provides update on the status of the previously announced decommissioning of its Long Beach manufacturing facility and relocation of its bottling and related assets to the new Blaze Life Holdings, LLC ("BLH") 45,000 square foot cannabis manufacturing and distribution facility located in Canoga Park, California, and on related measures being immediately implemented to facilitate the relocation including, but not limited to, substantive cost cutting initiatives and changes to the board and management teams.
Corporate Updates
Relocation to Canoga Park Facility and Long Beach Production Schedule
Tinley's confirms that it will decommission its Long Beach bottling assets before the end of the second quarter of this year, and currently expects installation and commissioning of bottling lines at strategic partner BLH's Canoga Park facility to take place at the beginning of the third quarter of this year. To help client brands ensure sufficient inventory for testing and release of products to distribution through the transition, the Company is collaborating with Long Beach contract manufacturing clients to complete service requests by the end of the week of March 20, 2023 to confirm added production dates prior to the decommissioning of the Long Beach facility. A detailed press release outlining the Company's strategy and movement to the Canoga Park facility, including anticipated overhead savings of the Company, was issued on January 23, 2023.
Recent Long Beach Production
Working through the end of 2022 and into January 2023 with co-pack client Green Monké, the Company successfully completed production of newly formulated infused iced tea and lemonade varieties developed by Green Monké under contract for the well-known "Cookies" brand.
Production in Long Beach includes both repeat and new client SKU's as well as inventory-building orders from high-volume recurring clients booked across the Company's three manufacturing lines. The Company has also recently run Tinley's own brand batches, as well as the first of several production runs scheduled in Q2 2023 for our strategic partner BLH's Illa-Canna LLC's new infused drinks. Additionally, certain established and innovating brands, introduced to the Company by BLH, have booked production for their products this quarter in Long Beach on an interim basis prior to the planned move to the Canoga Park facility.
Beckett's USA - Reorder in Progress
Following receipt of new purchase orders from Total Wine & More to replenish inventory, production of Beckett's Tonics RTD and Beckett's '27 multi-serve spirits and liqueur is now underway at the Company's chosen contract manufacturers. Delivery to Total Wine & More is expected at or around the end of the current quarter.
Substantive Cost Cutting Initiatives
To ensure a successful transition from Long Beach to Canoga Park, and to ensure that adequate financial resources are available to the Company in a market where access to capital is severely limited, Tinley's has immediately implemented substantive cost cutting measures to aggressively preserve capital and accelerate expense reduction. These steps recognize recent challenges in capital markets, growing costs in the California cannabis sector and the need for superior manufacturing and distribution scale, benefits of which are expected to materialize following the move.
Canadian Business - Pause on Expansion
In Canada, market complexities including high entry costs and ongoing challenges to profitability based on market structure continue to present challenges. As a Canadian company with a wide base of Canadian retail shareholders, Tinley's board and management acknowledge the natural interest in participating profitably in Canadian markets. We also recognize our need to prioritize our responsibility to the Company to manage cash flow and profitably, and will propose to invest overhead dollars saved as a result of the move, and revenues from Tinley's California and Beckett's USA, into initiatives with higher probability potential of return. Based on a current analysis of reintroduction of reformulated infused products to the Ontario Cannabis Store and the complexities of relaunching Beckett's into Canada at this time, to reflect the need to preserve capital and reduce expenses to focus future investment on high return initiatives, the Company has decided to pause its plan to re-enter Canada indefinitely.
Staff and Management Changes
In addition to reducing staff at the Long Beach facility in anticipation of the move to BLH's Canoga Park facility, the Company also regrets to announce that effective immediately, Rick Gillis has agreed to step down from his role as President, Tinley's Brands USA, a decision primarily driven in support of the Company's initiatives for preserving capital and cost cutting, and his concurrent appointment to the Company's advisory board. "We thank Mr. Gillis for his contributions as a Tinley officer to date," said Ted Zittell, Tinley's director and CEO. "We welcome Rick's ongoing commitment to support the Company and our Tinley's and Beckett's brands in his new role on the Company's Advisory Board," he added. In order to contribute to the preservation of cash, the Company's CEO, CFO and certain remaining employees and consultants have temporarily agreed to defer their respective salaries for a limited period of time.
Advance from BLH
On or about March 16, 2023, the Company received an advance of $200,000 from the remaining funds available to the Company under the BLH lending facility, with the final $300,000 from BLH currently expected to be expended by the Company during the move to BLH's Canoga Park facility. The $200,000 will be applied by the Company for general corporate purposes to provide the Company, together with the Company's ordinary course collection of client receivables, with sufficient capital to undertake its ordinary course operations until the Company is able to move to BLH's Canoga Park facility and realize on anticipated synergies of that move.
Board Changes
The Company regrets to announce that effective immediately, Kirsten Chapman has resigned from the Company's Board of Directors for personal reasons and to pursue other commitments. We thank Kirsten for her service and wish her continued success in the future.
About The Tinley's Beverage Company and Beckett's Tonics
The Tinley's Beverage Company Inc. (CSE: TNY) (OTCQB: TNYBF) develops and has licensed the production through its Long Beach, CA state-licensed manufacturing facility of terpene and cannabis-infused non-alcoholic Tinley's™ '27 and Tinley's™ Tonics products which are distributed to licensed dispensaries and home delivery channels in California.

Provides Corporate Updates
The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (CSE: TNY) (OTCQB: TNYBF) ("Tinley's" or the "Company") is pleased to provide updates on Company initiatives aimed to achieve revenue growth through the expansion of the Tinley's and Beckett's brands.
Tinley's product development team has commenced reformulation of select Tinley's products to include higher THC potency and new package formats. "In California, we see a preference in the dispensary channel for high THC potency beverages. By increasing the potency of our beverages in high-demand package formats, we plan to unlock revenue from this segment of the market," said Teddy Zittell, Tinley's CEO. Tinley's will also be officially re-launching home delivery of its beverages in California to address the largely untapped segment of California consumers who don't shop in dispensaries. The direct-to-consumer delivery of Tinley's cannabis beverages will be a collaboration between the Company and its cannabis brand distribution partner, Sulo Distro, and Grass Door, a leader in direct-to-consumer delivery of cannabis products.
"We believe home delivery customers, many of whom are new to the category, will respond favourably to our current lineup of Tinley's micro-dosed beverages, all of which are all low-calorie, low-carbohydrate and gluten-free," Mr. Zittell explained. "Through our management services agreement with Blaze Life Holding LLC ("BLH") and its subsidiary ILLA Canna LLC, we have locked in lower production costs for our own Tinley's brand and structured a continued revenue opportunity from current contract packing clients. We will now focus on driving increased revenue growth by building on our own brand," Mr. Zittell added.
Beckett's '27® & Beckett's Tonics® (USA)
The Beckett's relaunch at Total Wine & More, strategically timed with Dry January, has seen rapid and unprecedented sales across their more than 200 stores spanning 27 states. In response to Beckett's products being so well received by customers, Total Wine & More has reordered Beckett's products, and the Company has commenced production to satisfy this order. Additionally, the Company is actively pursuing expansion to other retail networks, distribution groups and channels, including on-premise. Store tests, which include product demonstrations and sampling, have been conducted at select H-E-B supermarket locations in Texas.
Becketts '27 & Becketts Classics (Canada)
The Company plans to relaunch Becketts brands in Canada starting in Ontario in Q2 2023. Based on consumer and retailer feedback for Becketts Classics (Beckett's Tonics® in the USA) ready-to-drink ("RTD") sparkling beverages, the products will now be packed in sleek 355ml aluminum cans. The Company has identified an Ontario based co-packer to produce these cans with the new recipes developed as part of the Company's overall product reformulation in 2022. This work was done by a leading international flavour company with experience in both non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. The RTD's are now intended to more accurately reflect the flavour profile of their beverage alcohol references.
For the Becketts '27® product line, the reformulation reduced the stevia aftertaste and more closely matches the target spirit or liqueur profile. The Company is in advanced stage negotiations with two potential Ontario-based co-packers who can produce in 375ml multi-serve cork-finish bottles. The Company is concurrently evaluating alternative routes to key markets across Canada with a range of distributor and broker options focused both on the mainstream and specialty grocery business and the beverage alcohol channel.
Tinley's Beverages (Canada)
In Canada, Tinley's product development team is continuing to evaluate new beverage options that are better suited for Canadian consumers and Canadian regulations. To this end, the Company is in the process of working on the re-introduction of new ready to serve beverages with a 10mg THC potency and infused with other novel cannabinoids, such as CBG. "We see the new Tinley's Classics ready-to-drink cannabis 'mocktails' as a product that will be well received by Canadian consumers," commented Mr. Zittell. "However, the long process in Canada of getting cannabis drinks from the development stage into the hands of consumers remains challenging for all cannabis beverage brands in Canada, including Tinley's," added Mr. Zittell.
Grant of Stock Options
Tinley's also announces the grant of stock options to purchase up to 1,800,000 common shares in the capital of the Company to certain directors and consultants of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Company's stock option plan. The stock options will be exercisable at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of five years from the date of grant.

Expected to Save Approximately USD $1 Million in Annual Operating Expenses
The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (CSE: TNY) (OTCQB: TNYBF) ("Tinley's" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a management services agreement (the "MSA") with Blaze Life Holdings, LLC ("BLH") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ILLA Canna LLC, effective January 23, 2023.
Under the terms of the MSA, Tinley's will relocate its bottling assets and related equipment to BLH's new 45,000 square foot cannabis manufacturing and distribution facility located in Canoga Park, California (the "Canoga Park Facility") and BLH and its licensed subsidiaries will provide certain management and operational services to Tinley's. Based upon management's current financial modelling, the provision of such services by BLH and relocation of Tinley's bottling assets to the Canoga Park Facility is expected to result in operating cost savings of approximately USD $1 million per year. Tinley's CEO, Teddy Zittell, said: "Since we began our collaborative partnership with BLH in June 2022, we've successfully delivered cost reductions and increased our operating capacity. When production begins at the Canoga Park Facility, we expect efficiencies to accelerate, with additional benefits anticipated from the on-site capacity for inventory storage and integrated first-mile and last-mile distribution services provided by SuLo Distro, a subsidiary of BLH".
As part of the relocation of the Company's bottling assets, the Company will decommission and vacate its current manufacturing facility in Long Beach, California. Tinley's plans to move its bottling assets to the Canoga Park Facility during the latter half of Q2 2023 and expects such assets to be fully operational at the Canoga Park Facility by mid to late Q3 2023. During the transition from Tinley's current Long Beach facility to the Canoga Park Facility, which is expected to take approximately 30-45 days to complete, Tinley's will not be able to provide co-packing bottling services to its customers. Tinley's intends to increase bottling production during Q1 and Q2 2023 prior to its relocation of its bottling assets to the Canoga Park Facility to fulfill planned production and support co-packing demand in order to compensate for bottling line outages over the course of the move.
"As a result of the anticipated increase in production activity, we expect revenue to be higher than previously anticipated in Q1 and Q2 of 2023", said Mr. Zittell. "This increase is over and above the quarter-on-quarter revenue growth we previously expected in 2023. We have seen material revenue gains in the first three quarters of 2022, and our 2022 year-end financial results are expected to show increased revenue in Q4 2022. We have no reason to believe that this trend will not continue through 2023", Mr. Zittell added.
Until the Canoga Park Facility is fully operational, which is expected to happen in late Q2 or the beginning of Q3 2023, Tinley's will continue to produce cans at the Company's Long Beach facility for current co-pack customers, as well as for new customers introduced to Tinley's by BLH who require canned beverage manufacturing prior to the Canoga Park Facility becoming fully operational. Tinley's Long Beach can line will remain in production during the move of the Company's bottling assets to the Canoga Park Facility, and will continue to generate revenue until the Company fully exits the Long Beach facility, planned to occur at the end of Q2. Following the move to the Canoga Park Facility, BLH will produce beverages in cans for Tinley's existing can customers.
In consideration for the provision of services by BLH under the terms of the MSA, including manufacturing for Tinley's at the Canoga Park Facility, Tinley's has agreed to pay BLH a flat fee of USD $55,000 per month as well as a USD $70,000 annual fee specifically for the provision of certain prescribed accounting and administrative services by BLH set out in the MSA. Under the terms of the MSA, BLH has agreed to pay Tinley's certain referral fees for a period of two years based on revenue received by BLH in connection with the provision of co-packing canning services to Tinley's existing clients transferring production to BLH, and Tinley's will continue to receive 100% of the revenue generated from the use of Tinley's bottling assets at the Canoga Park Facility.
A copy of the MSA is available on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
