True Drinks Holdings, Inc. Announces Name Change to Charlie's Holdings, Inc.

COSTA MESA, California   , July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- True Drinks Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "True Drinks") (OTC: TRUU) has announced today that the Company's name has been changed to Charlie's Holdings, Inc ("Charlie's"). Simultaneous with the name change, the Company has also received approval for a ticker symbol change from "TRUU" to "CHUC" effective when the market opens on July 3, 2019. The Company's common shares will also be identified under a new CUSIP number (16077A101). 

The formal name change and corresponding ticker symbol change reflect the Company's shift in focus from the beverage space into the vapor and e-liquid space through its industry-leading brands Charlie's Chalk Dust and Pachamama. In addition to the name change, the Company increased its authorized common shares from seven billion to fifty billion, which allowed for the automatic conversion of all of the Company's issued and outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into common shares. Additional information on the increase in authorized common shares can be found in the Company's Current Report on 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"We are extremely excited about the Company's direction and the value it will create for our shareholders," said Brandon Stump, Chief Executive Officer of Charlie's Holdings, Inc. "We believe this name and symbol change will appropriately reflect the Company's continued efforts to provide consumers with the highest quality products in the vapor and e-liquid space. And the increase in authorized common shares will allow us to complete certain requirements of our recent share exchange, most notably eliminating the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, therefore simplifying our capital structure."

In conjunction with the name change, the Company is currently developing a new corporate website to showcase the Company's mission and brands. For updates on the Company's new website, please visit charliesholdings.com. Charlie's will provide investors with continued updates throughout this transition.
