EXHIBIT 99.1
SPLASH BEVERAGE GROUP INVESTS IN AVICANNA, A LEADING CANNABINOID BIOPHARMACEUTICAL
PLATFORM, ADVANCING ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO CANNABINOID HEALTHCARE
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — June 15, 2026 — Splash Beverage Group,
Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) today announced the completion of a CDN$300,000 strategic investment in Avicanna Inc. (TSX: AVCN), a commercial-stage
cannabinoid-based biopharmaceutical company focused on clinical research, patient care, and developing pharmaceutical products.
The investment represents a strategic capital allocation aligned with Splash’s
previously announced transformation into a cannabinoid-based health, wellness, and healthcare-focused platform company.
Splash believes Avicanna has assembled one of the most sophisticated cannabinoid
healthcare platforms operating today and is uniquely positioned for the continued evolution of the medical cannabinoid market in the United
States.
“Avicanna has spent years building many of the capabilities we believe
will define the future of cannabinoid medicine,” said Brady Cobb, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Splash Beverage Group. “As
we evaluated opportunities across the sector, Avicanna stood out because of its combination of intellectual property, product portfolio,
clinical development, healthcare-system integration, managing health insurance filings and integration, pharmaceutical expertise, and
operational execution.”
Splash’s investment thesis is supported by several attributes that
management believes distinguish Avicanna within the cannabinoid sector:
| |
● |
One of North
America’s leading cannabinoid-based biopharmaceutical companies with proprietary formulations and clinical-stage pharmaceutical
assets; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
A commercial-stage pharmaceutical
portfolio that includes Trunerox™, an approved cannabidiol treatment for severe epilepsy indications, and multiple clinical development
programs targeting pain, inflammation, and dermatological conditions; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
MyMedi.ca, one of Canada’s
leading medical cannabis care platforms, providing pharmacist-led patient care, reimbursement support, insurance adjudication, and
physician-guided patient access; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Real-world operating experience
within Canada’s federally regulated medical cannabis system, one of the most advanced medical cannabinoid frameworks globally; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
A vertically integrated international
platform that includes pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid manufacturing and active pharmaceutical ingredient production through its Colombian
operations; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
An experienced management
team with deep expertise across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, clinical research, and cannabinoid medicine; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
A debt-free balance sheet. |
Splash believes the long-term cannabinoid opportunity will increasingly
be defined by clinical evidence, physician participation, healthcare integration, reimbursement infrastructure, pharmaceutical-approved
products, and regulatory compliance.
Management believes Avicanna has already built a platform around those
principles and may be particularly well positioned as the U.S. healthcare and regulatory environment continues to evolve.
“In many respects, Avicanna has built and operated within a federally
regulated medical cannabinoid framework that already incorporates many of the characteristics increasingly being evaluated across the
United States healthcare system,” continued Cobb. “We view this investment as a strategic allocation into a company whose
platform, capabilities, and operating experience may be uniquely suited for the next phase of cannabinoid medicine.”
On June 9, 2026, Splash completed a CDN$300,000 investment in Avicanna’s
non-brokered private placement, acquiring 2,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 warrants.
