The Alkaline Water Company to Launch in Sam’s Clubs Nationwide

All 587 Sam’s Clubs in the Continental U.S. Will Carry Alkaline88’s Single-Serve 1-Liter 12 Pack

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline company and The Clean Beverage Company™, is pleased to announce that the Alkaline88 1-liter 12 pack will be available this fall at Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club is a leading membership warehouse club with nearly 600 clubs and millions of members in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Beginning in early November, Alkaline88® will be available in 587 Sam’s Clubs locations across the country. Alkaline88’s single-serve 1-Liter in Sam’s Club is the Company’s first entry into the all-important club channel.

“Alkaline88’s presence in Sam’s Club marks another milestone for our company and its stockholders. Sam’s Club is known for offering superior products and savings to their members,” said Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “They are one of the largest membership warehouse clubs with millions of members nationwide. Beginning in November, members will find Deliciously Smooth™ Alkaline88® 1-liters in a convenient 12 pack in their local Sam’s Club.”

“The increased sales of our single serves this fiscal year will accelerate even more with this major win,” continued Mr. Wright. “This was only possible because of the strength of our supply chain and production capabilities. Our four new co-packers, including Azure in Leesburg, Florida, will be supporting our anticipated increase in volume. The billion-dollar club channel is a major focus for our continued growth, and we hope this is the first of many Alkaline88™ club-packaged products that consumers will find on Sam’s Club shelves.”
