Unless the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this section, the terms “we,” “us,” “the Company” or “Synergy” refer to Synergy CHC Corp. Our Company We are a provider of consumer health care, beauty, and lifestyle products. Our current brand portfolio consists of two marquee brands, FOCUSfactor, a clinically-tested brain health supplement (this study was performed independently and is not related to any U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) -approved investigational new drug (IND) application) that has been shown to improve memory, concentration and focus, and Flat Tummy, a lifestyle and wellness brand that provides a suite of nutritional products to help women achieve their nutrition and weight management goals. Collectively, these brands are referred to as nutraceuticals. Our products are sold through some of the nation’s leading club, mass drug, and other retailers such as Costco, Amazon.com, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, and The Vitamin Shoppe. Additionally, we have expanded into Canada and Mexico. We built our brand portfolio through strategic acquisitions. We acquired the FOCUSfactor brand in January 2015 for cash consideration of $6.0 million, including earnout. In November 2015, we acquired our second marquee brand, Flat Tummy, for AUD 10.0 million (approximately $7.0 million), using a mix of cash and stock. Our capital structure following the acquisitions of our key brands in 2015 has been highly levered, and our focus has been on paying our debt and, as a result, we do not have the resources to grow our business. We have grown our FOCUSfactor brand from 3 SKUs at acquisition to over 34 SKUs, and our Flat Tummy Brand from 1 SKU to 13 SKUs. We use the term SKU, or stock-keeping unit, to refer to a product with a unique UPC (Universal Product Code), which is the barcode used to identify products. We intend to accelerate the growth of both our FOCUSfactor supplements and FOCUSfactor energy Ready To Drink (RTD) products. Our asset-light business model, in which we partner with third-party manufacturers to produce our brand offerings, allows us to scale quickly and profitably while satisfying growing demand. Our Brands Our flagship brand, FOCUSfactor, is a brain health nutritional supplement with over 25 years of history and a clinically-tested formula (this study was performed independently and is not related to any FDA-approved IND application) comprised of a proprietary blend of key brain supporting ingredients along with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. We believe FOCUSfactor is the only product in its category whose entire formula has been shown to support memory, concentration and focus. Our FOCUSfactor brand consists of over 34 SKUs and is sold primarily through leading retailers in the United States, including Costco, Amazon.com, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, and The Vitamin Shoppe, in addition to selling direct to consumer through the FOCUSfactor website. Across three of our key partners, we have increased the number of SKUs sold through the retailer from the single SKU available at the beginning of our relationships in 2015 and 2016. In addition, we have increased our presence in retail locations for these key partners, resulting in a significant increase in points of distribution, defined as the number of SKUs multiplied by the number of retail locations for each retailer. We have also expanded the brand internationally into Canada (2020) and Mexico (2025). FOCUSfactor has expanded into the beverage market with its focus plus energy RTD. According to Zion Research in January 2024, the global beverage market is large ($176 billion in 2022) and growing (projected 8.6% CAGR covering eight years from 2022 through 2030) with an expanding range of functional benefits such as energy, hydration, cognition/focus, weight loss, gut health and immunity. Examples such as Celsius and Beyond Raw offer dual-benefit products that deliver fat burning plus energy while C4 Smart Energy and FocusAid deliver focus plus energy. Additionally, consumers are looking for not only refreshing drinks but health perks such as zero sugar and low-calorie drinks.…
