Reed’s, Inc. Eliminates Majority of Corporate Debt with $3.2 Million

Sale Leaseback

Transaction for two company-owned properties strengthens company’s balance sheet

LOS ANGELES, June 22, 2009 (MARKETWIRE) -- Reed's, Inc. (Nasdaq:REED), maker of the top-selling sodas in natural food stores nationwide, announced today that it has closed escrow on a sale-leaseback on its two buildings in Los Angeles for an undisclosed amount.  Concurrently, the Company has entered into a long-term lease agreement with the buyer covering the premises, which are used for the Company’s West Coast brewery operations, its corporate offices, and warehouse space.

The transaction dramatically improved the company’s available working capital.  The proceeds from the sale were applied to pay off $1.8 million of long-term debt and to reduce its outstanding borrowing under its revolving line of credit, freeing up availability.  The Company has filed an 8K outlining the specific details of the transaction, which can be viewed at: www.sec.gov.

“We had previously announced that we were looking at alternative methods of funding, focusing on the least dilutive mechanisms possible.  This transaction provides the Company with the working capital necessary to expand production and marketing activities as we enter our busy season, and protects value for our existing stakeholders.  It also enables us to proceed with planned business initiatives into areas such as new product development, and new forms of marketing and distribution of our products, including our new energy drink, the Reed’s Natural Energy Elixir,” commented Mr. Chris Reed, Founder and CEO of Reed’s, Inc.
