Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), New Age Beverages Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor for an aggregate purchase price payable in cash of $4,750,000, before reimbursement of expenses, a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”) with a principal face amount of $4,750,000, which Convertible Note is, subject to certain conditions, convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of underlying common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $1.89 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). The Convertible Note will mature on June 20, 2019, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted pursuant to its terms. The Convertible Note and the Conversion Shares described in this Current Report on Form 8-K were offered and sold to the Investor in reliance upon exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, as applicable, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with the Investor on the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Convertible Note and the Conversion Shares within eighty (80) days  of the Closing Date which registration must be declared effective under the Securities Act within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date (each of which dates are accelerated upon an event of default under the Convertible Notes).. 
 
The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) and the Investor entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and its Subsidiaries granted to the Investor a security interest in, among other items, the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds (the “Assets”), as set forth in the Security Agreement. In addition, pursuant to an intellectual property security agreement (the “IP Security Agreement”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries granted to the Investor a continuing security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under certain trademarks, copyrights and patents of the Company.
 
The Company issued to the Investor (i) 125,661 shares of Common Stock as a commitment to the Investor (the “Commitment Shares”); and (ii) 100,529 shares of Common Stock as payment of an additional exit fee to the Investor (the “Exit Shares”).  The Exit Shares are subject to certain resale restrictions agreed to by the Investor under the SPA. The Commitment Shares and the Exit Fee Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the Company’s currently effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-21941).

In addition, the conversion price of the Convertible Note is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. 
 
In addition, pursuant to the SPA, the Company has agreed to provide the Investor with certain registration rights with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares.
