The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the
“Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water
company and the Clean Beverage® company, today announced that the
Alkaline88® 3-Liter will be available in one of the Western United
States’ best-known convenience store chains. The approximately 600
locations, which were included in the Company’s previously
announced 8,400 new stores added since the start of the fiscal
year, will begin carrying the product in August in their stores in
California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon.
“Morning or night, commuters filling up or passing through can
now rehydrate with an Alkaline88 3-Liter in 600 more convenience
stores in five Western states, including hundreds of locations all
throughout California,” said Alkaline88 President and CEO, Frank
Lazaran. “This newest c-store client is part of one of the top-ten
convenience chains in the country and a leader on the West Coast.
This is another huge win for the expansion of our brand in the
convenience store channel and for our growing retail footprint.
“With a very strong production infrastructure in the region, a
great distribution partner in California, and our
Direct-Store-Delivery partners covering much of the rest of the
c-store’s footprint, we expect a solid rollout for Alkaline88®
3-Liter when it hits shelves and cold vaults in the summer heat of
August. Having all these pieces in place for a large launch with a
new premium c-store client is a prime example of how we are
optimizing every facet of our company to continue to efficiently
expand the Alkaline88 brand.”

Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking statements.”
Statements in this news release that are not purely historical are
forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding
beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future.
Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, that
the Company expects a solid rollout for Alkaline88® 3-Liter when it
hits shelves and cold vaults in the summer heat of August.
The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking
statements include, among others, that the demand for the Company’s
products will continue to significantly grow; that the past
production capacity of the Company’s co-packing facilities can be
maintained or increased; that there will be increased production
capacity through implementation of new production facilities, new
co-packers and new technology; that there will be an increase in
number of products available for sale to retailers and consumers;
that there will be an expansion in geographical areas by national
retailers carrying the Company’s products; that there will be an
expansion into new national and regional grocery retailers; that
there will be an expansion into new e-commerce, home delivery,
convenience, and healthy food channels; that there will not be
interruptions on production of the Company’s products; that there
will not be a recall of products due to unintended contamination or
other adverse events relating to the Company’s products; and that
the Company will be able to obtain additional capital to meet the
Company’s growing demand and satisfy the capital expenditure
requirements needed to increase production and support sales
activity. Actual results could differ from those projected in any
forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors
include, among others, governmental regulations being implemented
regarding the production and sale of alkaline water or any other
products; additional competitors selling alkaline water and
enhanced water products in bulk containers reducing the Company’s
sales; the fact that the Company does not own or operate any of its
production facilities and that co-packers may not renew current
agreements and/or not satisfy increased production quotas; the fact
that the Company has a limited number of suppliers of its unique
bulk bottles; the potential for supply-chain interruption due to
factors beyond the Company’s control; the fact that there may be a
recall of products due to unintended contamination; the inherent
uncertainties associated with operating as an early stage company;
changes in customer demand and the fact that consumers may not
embrace enhanced water products as expected or at all; the extent
to which the Company is successful in gaining new long-term
relationships with new retailers and retaining existing
relationships with retailers; the Company’s ability to raise the
additional funding that it will need to continue to pursue its
business, planned capital expansion and sales activity; and
competition in the industry in which the Company operates and
market conditions. These forward-looking statements are made as of
the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no
obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update
the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in
the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable
law, including the securities laws of the United States and Canada.
Although the Company believes that any beliefs, plans,
expectations, and intentions contained in this news release are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that any such beliefs, plans,
expectations, or intentions will prove to be accurate. Readers
