The planned acquisition underscores the company’s focus on diversifying within the rapidly growing cannabis and THC beverage sector.
Acquisition of Señorita Brand Assets
Agrify (AGFY) has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire specific assets from Double or Nothing LLC, the owner of the Señorita brand, which specializes in HDLT beverages. The transaction, anticipated to close by year-end, will involve 530,000 shares of AGFY common stock or equivalents. This acquisition aligns with the company’s broader vision of expanding its offerings in the THC-infused drink industry.
Señorita: A Brand with Vision and Market Potential
Founded by acclaimed winemakers Charles Bieler and Joel Gott, Señorita launched in 2023 as an alternative to traditional alcoholic drinks. Known for its high-quality, low-calorie formulations, Señorita currently offers two HDLT-infused beverage flavors—classic and mango margarita.
The brand is already present in Canada and nine U.S. states, with plans for further geographic expansion. Bieler and Gott’s expertise in the beverage market, combined with Señorita’s appeal to younger demographics, presents Agrify with an opportunity to tap into this burgeoning consumer segment.
AGFY’s Financial Position for Growth
Agrify’s robust financials provide a solid foundation for supporting Señorita’s expansion and capitalizing on market demand. Currently, the company holds approximately $17 million in debt and 1.4 million outstanding shares, along with 6.3 million warrants.
The transaction will see Agrify issuing a combination of common stock and pre-funded warrants totaling 530,000 shares. This calculated investment aligns with AGFY’s strategic direction in the cannabis industry, as it positions itself to capture a larger share of the HDLT market.
Future Prospects for Agrify and Señorita Collaboration
With a strengthened balance sheet and a capable leadership team, Agrify is poised to leverage the innovation and entrepreneurial drive behind Señorita. The collaboration is expected to provide an edge in meeting rising consumer demand, while establishing AGFY as a competitive force in the cannabis beverage industry.
