From an investment perspective, its very sound, the Liquid Nutrition brand is fresh, new and rapidly expanding.

Liquid Nutrition represents the new takeout, a healthier alternative, and Im proud to be a part of that movement.

Arlene Dickinson has served as an independent director on Liquid Nutritions Board of Directors since the company was publicly listed in the spring of 2011.

Arlene has provided invaluable counsel and direction as an active member of Liquid Nutritions Board. It is very encouraging to see her make a substantial investment in the company.

This partnership agreement also marks an important milestone for Liquid Nutrition, which has now signed partnerships in all primary Canadian markets.

Team Liquid, which is comprised of Steve Nash (NBA), Torah Bright (snowboarding), Russell Martin (MLB), Suzann Pettersen (LPGA), Matt Ryan (NFL), Vincent Lecavalier (NHL) and Nutritionist Elaine Hastings played a major factor in Ms. Dickinsons decision to invest.

Having so many prominent athletes behind Liquid Nutrition was very encouraging to see as a prospective investor. Im confident Team Liquid will help build Liquid Nutrition into a very authentic brand, added Ms. Dickinson.
