    Accelerated closing timeline underscores significant market opportunity for Beeline in connection with anticipated additional Fed rate cuts and increasing mortgage application volumes

    Simultaneously completes previously announced debt for equity exchange to strengthen balance sheet and sale of Craft Canning + Printing

    Well-known mortgage industry veterans to join Company's Board of Directors

    PORTLAND, Ore. and PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastside Distilling, Inc. ("Eastside") (Nasdaq: EAST) today announces the closing of its Merger Agreement with Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Beeline"), a privately-held pioneering mortgage and title technology company that developed and operates an end-to-end, all-digital, artificial intelligence ("AI")-enhanced platform for homeowners and property investors. Eastside also completed a debt-for-equity exchange and the asset sale of Craft Canning + Printing. The terms of the merger, debt exchange and asset sale were first announced September 4, 2024.

    Eastside Distilling (PRNewsfoto/Eastside Distilling, Inc.)

    As merger consideration, Eastside has issued to Beeline shareholders a combination of common and preferred stock. In addition, the Eastside Board of Directors has appointed two new independent board members having extensive experience with emerging growth companies, Joe Freedman and Joe Caltabiano, effective immediately. Eastside's Board of Directors appointed Christopher Moe, the Chief Financial Officer of Beeline, to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Eastside.

    Geoffrey Gwin, Eastside's CEO stated, "I am thrilled to have finalized this agreement to bring Beeline into a public company environment, and to share a unique growth opportunity with our stakeholders. Beeline has put together a fabulous team and powerful technology, and we are very excited to begin this next chapter of building a great franchise together."

    This strategic partnership positions Eastside as an emerging leader in the digital mortgage origination space while continuing to grow its legacy craft spirits business. Beeline is among the first in mortgage origination to deliver AI-driven customer service tools and is now launching sales support AI, to facilitate lower-cost conversions for Direct-to-Consumer platforms.

    "Tailwinds are emerging in the mortgage space, leading to month-over-month double-digit percentage revenue growth for Beeline," said Nick Liuzza, CEO of Beeline. "Beeline has built a disruptive platform leveraging proprietary AI to outpace many of our competitors while capitalizing on increased refinance activity which is expected to continue as rates continue to come down in the near-term."

    The transaction has been approved by Beeline's shareholders and Eastside's Board of Directors.  Eastside's shareholders will vote on the transaction later this year.  In addition, Eastside believes with the successful close of this transaction, it will have satisfied Nasdaq's Continued Listing requirements. For further details see Form 8-K filed by Eastside with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2024.
