IRVING, Texas, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sow Good Inc. (NASDAQ: SOWG) (\u201cSow Good\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading freeze-dried food and candy manufacturer, today announced the completion of a series of strategic transactions designed to strengthen its liquidity position, transition the business to a more asset-light operating model, and provide flexibility as the Company continues operating its candy business while evaluating growth opportunities and broader strategic alternatives.<\/p>\n

\n $6.0 Million Private Placement<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

On December 31, 2025, Sow Good entered into a securities purchase agreement for a $6.0 million private placement with investor David Lazar. The financing will be completed in two tranches of $3.0 million each through the issuance of Series AA and Series AAA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock.<\/p>\n

The first $3.0 million closing was completed on December 31, 2025. The second $3.0 million closing is expected to occur following receipt of required stockholder approvals and prior to March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

Net proceeds from the private placement are expected to be used to fund ongoing operations, address outstanding liabilities, and preserve the Company\u2019s ability to operate as a going concern while it pursues strategic initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompleting this financing provides Sow Good with critical runway and stability,\u201d said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Sow Good. \u201cOur immediate focus is to continue serving customers and partners, stabilize the business, and evaluate opportunities to grow within the candy and snack category. At the same time, we will be disciplined and thoughtful as we explore additional strategic alternatives that can unlock long-term value for stockholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Strategic Asset Sale and Distribution Agreement<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Sow Good also completed the sale of a significant portion of the assets related to the Company’s freeze-dried snacks and candy business to Trea Grove, LLC for total consideration of $1.5 million, payable in installments through March 31, 2026. The transaction includes the transfer of selected intellectual property, real property improvements, and other related assets, along with the assumption of specified liabilities.<\/p>\n

Following the asset sale, the Company entered into a distribution agreement appointing Trea Grove, LLC as the exclusive distributor of certain Sow Good products, including fruits, snacks, and candy, through July 31, 2026, unless extended. Under the agreement, the distributor will manage customer communications, logistics, fulfillment, billing, and collections, and will remit 10% of gross receipts from product sales to the Company.<\/p>\n

These transactions do not represent a liquidation or cessation of operations. Sow Good will continue selling and distributing its candy products in the ordinary course of business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis transition allows Sow Good to remain active in the candy market while significantly reducing fixed operating costs,\u201d said Claudia Goldfarb, Board member and Chief Operating Officer of Sow Good. \u201cWe believe this structure positions the Company to continue serving its customers, through a third-party distribution arrangement, pursue growth opportunities within the candy industry, and thoughtfully assess additional strategic paths that may enhance value.\u201d<\/p>\n
