Stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, must ensure that such proposal is received by Judy Holloway Reed, the Company’s Secretary, at 13000 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, California 90061 or via email at jreed@reedsinc.com, on or before the close of business on July 31, 2017, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting. The July 31, 2017 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a shareholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act.
