The Company’s corporate headquarters will remain in Dallas, as will the domestic sales, marketing, corporate accounting and financial reporting. Ms. Li said, “The meetings last week in New York with Rocky Mountain High Corporate were very productive. We discussed a wide variety of issues and topics pertaining to moving forward in 2017 and solidified our plans. One of the highlights of the meeting will be the introduction of the classic hemp leaf can in two sizes with labeling for the Chinese market, which will be offered as Mango and Coconut Lime in a non-energy drink variation in an 8.4-ounce can and the Lemonade and Black Tea in a 12-ounce can. The original energy drink will be offered in an 8.4-ounce gold can with the hemp leaf. We decided that all Rocky Mountain High beverages at this time will be produced in the United States and shipped via container for international distribution. In the not too distant future, we anticipate producing all Chinese products in China. A limited number of the hemp leaf products will be made available for purchase exclusively on the www.liverockymountainhigh.com website.”
