Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 20, 2022) - CENTR Brands Corp. (CSE: CNTR) (FSE: 303) (OTCQB: CNTRF) (the "Company") announced today that, further to the Company's press release of June 13, 2022, the Company has entered into a Settlement Agreement with Joseph E. Meehan, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Redcliffe Gardens Capital Limited ("RGCL"), a consulting corporation controlled by Mr. Meehan. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Meehan has resigned from his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately. Campbell Becher, who had previously served as Chairman of the Board, will reassume his role as the Board's Chairman. For the two-month period leading up to the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the "Meeting"), Mr. Meehan will remain as a non-executive director of the Company. Mr. Meehan will not stand for election as a member of the Board of Directors at the Meeting.

In accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue the following share grants owed to Mr. Meehan and RGCL: (i) 106,250 common shares of the Company issuable to RGCL pursuant to the consulting agreement dated as of June 1, 2022 between the Company and RGCL; (ii) 60,000 common shares of the Company issuable to Mr. Meehan in respect of services rendered to the Company in 2021; and (iii) 1,000,000 common shares of the Company issuable to RGCL. Also, per the Settlement Agreement and in lieu of severance, an aggregate of USD $500,000 of advisory fees will be paid to RGCL in monthly installments over the next 36 months.

The Company is pleased to conclude this agreement and is thrilled at the new direction already taking shape under the leadership of its current CEO and one of the Company's original founders, Arjan Chima. Arjan Chima has extensive experience in the consumer-packaged goods industry and more generally as a "brand maker." Previously, Arjan was part of the executive leadership team involved with the creation of NUTRL Vodka, which in less than five years went from creation to leading Canadian brand status and was ultimately acquired by global powerhouse Anheuser-Busch InBev. Under Mr. Chima's leadership, CENTR is evolving beyond its status as the leading distributed CBD sparkling water in the United States to a player in the functional beverage market with its announcement of its non-CBD functional wellness beverage, CENTR Enhanced. According to Precedence Research, the global functional beverage market is estimated to grow from roughly $121 billion in sales in 2021 to roughly $280 billion by 2030. CENTR looks forward to establishing a leadership role in this wellness-oriented category.
