[SCHEDULE 13D] SPLASH BEVERAGE GROUP, INC. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Splash Beverage Group (SBEV): William R. Meissner filed a Schedule 13D reporting beneficial ownership of 752,500 shares, equal to 23.8% of the class. The stake consists of 750,000 five-year warrants exercisable at $0.80 per share received on July 31, 2025, plus 2,500 stock options with a $104.00 exercise price. He holds sole voting and dispositive power over these securities and states he acquired them with the purpose of exercising control.

The ownership percentage is calculated against 2,414,226 shares outstanding as of October 17, 2025. The filing notes SEC rules can inflate individual beneficial ownership due to including securities exercisable within 60 days, and that simultaneous filings by others could show multiple holders above 20% when viewed individually.

Item 1 Comment: This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Splash Beverage Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 1314 E Las Olas Blvd., Suite 221, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33301. The shares beneficially owned include shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to the Issuer's officers, directors and certain employees as of July 31, 2025. All of the warrants are fully vested with one exception. The warrants held by the Reporting Person are fully vested. Because of the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in calculating beneficial ownership, the common stock which could be exercised or converted in 60 days is deemed to be beneficially owned by a person. However, the underlying common stock issuable to other persons is not included in a reporting person's calculations. In this Schedule 13D and others being filed at about the same time, a number of people will each report beneficial ownership over 20%; if they were all aggregated, the beneficial ownership percentage would be reduced.
