The Merger and Related Transactions
The Merger
On
Prior to the Merger, we ceased being an operating company and became a "shell company". Pursuant to the Merger, we acquired the business of Target to engage in the business of the development, marketing, and sale of hydrogen-infused water and other consumer goods.
As consideration for the merger, Target shareholders exchanged 100% of Target Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) totaling 44,136,473 fully diluted shares into shares of Company Common Stock at a conversion rate of 0.7 As a result, an aggregate of 30,895,530 shares of our Common Stock were issued to the shareholders of Target.
The Merger Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions. Breaches of the representations and warranties will be subject to customary indemnification provisions, subject to specified aggregate limits of liability.
The issuance of shares of our Common Stock to shareholders of Target in
connection with the merger was not registered under the Securities Act, in
reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public
offering, and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated by the

Immediately after giving effect to the Merger and other related transactions, there were 40,822,197 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. This figure does not include shares issuable at a future date through the Boot Note and Warrants.

Description of Business
Immediately following the Merger, the business of HyEdge became our business.
Overview
HyEdge operates primarily through its subsidiary,
HFactor was developed and is manufactured by a team of experts in the
HFactor's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits appeal to a wide population
across every age group, positioning HFactor to capture significant share in an
expanding market. The global market for bottled water is projected to reach
The quality of our product is achieved through a proprietary manufacturing process. A reverse osmosis filtering system and patent-protected infusion process ensures efficacy, purity, and taste. The efficacy of hydrogen water is backed by over 1,000 published peer reviewed studies demonstrating that hydrogen positively impacts fitness, health, lifestyle, recovery, and wellness.
Our sales strategy involves a diversified, multi-channel approach. Our products are currently on shelves in approximately 5,000+ retail stores across 20 chains in addition to our growing ecommerce presence. Our company prides itself on having a low carbon footprint, primarily due to our eco-conscious packaging and free mail-in recycling program through our partnership with Teracycle.
Mission Statement
To build a brand and corporate culture that, at its essence, exhibits strength in oneself and in one's community. We promote a foundation of "doing well by doing good". This foundation enables HFactor to produce and distribute the highest quality "better for you" consumer products that are conscious to the community, mind, body, and the environment.

Consumers are looking for a go-to hydration option that provides additional functional benefits without the sugar or caffeine. The worldwide health and fitness movement is just beginning. More and more people are realizing the importance of what you put in your body and how you maintain it. On a greater scale, consumers are looking for brands that have removed artificial ingredients. This has led to a recent increase in contracts from major retailers and distributors in the US that should result in a significant increase to the Company's retail presence throughout 2021 and 2022.
Maintaining Relevance in a
HFactor has found success by establishing beneficial relationships with target-aligned influencers and sponsoring a multitude of events and activities. We have built organic relationships with athletes and influencers in the fitness space to drive awareness, education, and ecommerce. To solidify HFactor in the fitness space, we have had a strong presence at many sports and fitness events as participating sponsor, driving product trial and education. We expect that as we continue to cultivate these relationships, brand awareness will increase, and we will be able to capture a significant share in an expanding market.
The Benefits of Hydrogen Infused Water
Water already has Hydrogen, as in H2O, but when those two hydrogen atoms are bound to oxygen, they are not available for any other interactions. When we infuse hydrogen gas into water, active hydrogen molecules are free and accessible to our body. Small and soluble, molecular hydrogen can quickly circulate and speed straight into the power centers of our cells. This interaction has been shown to increase athletic performance, reduce inflammation from exercise, and increase powerful antioxidants in our body. Our Reverse Osmosis filtering system ensures the purity and taste of our water, and our patented infusion process allows us to deliver PURE hydrogen and PURE water, and nothing else.

The pouch. The pouch is unique, convenient to hold and carry, and plays a significant role in helping you reap all the benefits Hydrogen has to offer. The eco-conscious design and material was created in an effort to contain the additional Hydrogen in the water. When you add hydrogen to water, it tries to and usually does escape quite easily through more traditional materials such as plastic or cardboard. Our pouch keeps the extra Hydrogen molecules contained, and does so with a lower carbon footprint.

The can. Slim, sleek, and eye-catching, the HFactor cans are finished with a matte white color so the blues and text information stand out on the shelf. Functionally, the aluminum material of the can is also very effective at containing the extra Hydrogen molecules.

More Flavors. More Sizes. More Choices. Recent innovations include a larger, 20-ounce pouch, in addition to different flavors of HFactor water such as Watermelon, Blood Orange, Honeydew, and Tart Cherry. These options offer consumers a great-tasting beverage that still provides the health benefits of our standard hydrogen-infused water.

There can be no assurance that the Company's proposed plan of business can be realized in the manner contemplated and, if it cannot be, shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. There is no guarantee that it will ever realize any significant operating revenues or that its operations will ever be profitable.
The Company is dependent upon its management, key personnel, and consultants to execute its business plan.

The Company's success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of the Company's current leadership team . Loss of these key individuals could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, the Company's success and achievement of the Company's growth plans depend on the Company's ability to recruit, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in the beverage/Consumer Product nd the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of the Company's activities, could have a materially adverse effect on its ability to operate. The inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants and advisors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Although dependent upon certain key personnel, the Company does not have any key man life insurance policies on any such people.
The Company is dependent upon management in order to conduct its operations and execute its business plan. However, the Company has not purchased any insurance policies with respect to those individuals in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of these key personnel, management, or founders die or become disabled, the Company will not receive any compensation that would assist with such person's absence. The loss of such person could negatively affect the Company and its operations.
The Company is subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes.
Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although the Company believes that our tax estimates will be reasonable: (i) there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our income tax provisions, expense amounts for non-income-based taxes and accruals and (ii) any material differences could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in the period or periods for which a determination is made.

The Company does not have the internal infrastructure necessary, and is not required, to complete an attestation about our financial controls that would be required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There can be no assurances that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of our financial controls.
