"This new agreement has the potential to triple our distribution points"

Kaival Brands is excited to announce that it recently entered into an agreement with H.T. Hackney Co. ("Hackney"), a longstanding convenience store distribution leader, pursuant to which Hackney can now purchase the Bidi® Sticks for distribution.  The Knoxville, Tennessee-based, 100-year-old Hackney has over 20 distribution centers throughout the Southeast and Midwest supporting approximately 25,000 convenience stores.  Hackney's first order of Bidi® Sticks shipped on January 28. Following that order, Hackney can now begin to distribute the Bidi® Stick throughout its distribution network in 22 states in the eastern U.S.

This new partnership with Hackney represents Kaival Brands' largest single distribution agreement to date.  In 2020, the Bidi® Stick was available in approximately 10,000 stores. Niraj Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Kaival Brands, said, "We are enthusiastic and humbled by Hackney's embrace of the Bidi® Stick. This new agreement has the potential to triple our distribution points, which, if that occurs, could increase our previously forecasted revenue projections. It is an honor to be affiliated with a company of Hackney's stature and history, and further validates the innovative Bidi® Stick as a category leader.  We look forward to a very fruitful relationship."

Mr. Patel, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, owns and controls Bidi Vapor. As a result, Bidi Vapor and the Company are considered under common control and Bidi Vapor is considered a related party.

Based in Melbourne, Fla., Bidi Vapor maintains a commitment to responsible marketing, supporting age-verification standards and sustainability through its Bidi® Cares recycling program. The company's premiere device, the Bidi® Stick, is a premium product made with medical-grade components, a UL-certified battery and technology designed to deliver a consistent vaping experience.
