Exhibit 99.1
Jones Soda Co. Announces Closing of Private Placement
SEATTLE, Washington, August 6, 2026 - Jones Soda Co. (“Jones Soda” or the “Company”) (CSE: JSDA, OTCQB: JSDA) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced Canadian non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of 606,530 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of US$0.33 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $200,155.
Each Unit is composed of: (i) one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”); and (ii) one-half (1/2) of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of US$0.45 per Warrant Share for 36 months following the completion of the Offering (the “Expiry Time”). If at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the closing trading price of the underlying Common Shares on either the OTCQB Venture Marketplace or other stock exchange or over-the-counter market in the United States where the Common Shares are then trading, exceeds US$0.47 (provided that such price shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Exercise Price as provided for in the terms of the Warrants) for a period of five consecutive trading days, the Company may deliver a notice to the holders of outstanding Warrants (an “Acceleration Event”) accelerating the Expiry Time of the Warrants to the date that is 30 calendar days following the date of such notice (the “Accelerated Exercise Time”), and if an Acceleration Event occurs, any unexercised Warrants will automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Time.
The Company intends to use the net cash proceeds of the Offering to support growth and for general corporate purposes.
Insiders participated in $100,000 of this tranche. The CFO of the Company participated in this tranche.
The Units and the underlying securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period from closing of the Offering in accordance with applicable securities legislation and completion is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”).
