Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive

Reed’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") on January 28, 2011, with three institutional investors for the sale of common stock and warrants for $750,000.00. The terms of the Purchase Agreement include the sale of 304,880 shares of common stock at $2.46 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years into 121,952 shares at $2.77 per share. All of such warrants contain customary adjustments for corporate events such as reorganizations, splits and dividends.

The completion of the offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to close on or before February 7, 2011. The net proceeds from the transaction will be used solely for working capital purposes. In the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed not to use the proceeds to satisfy any debt, to redeem any of the Company's outstanding securities or with respect to any litigation involving the Company.

At the closing of the transaction, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the institutional investors. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") covering the resale of the common stock to be sold and the common stock underlying the warrants to be sold (the "Registration Statement").

The Company will be required to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. The Company will also be obligated to use its best efforts to file the Registration Statement within 30 days of the closing date of the transaction. In addition, the Company will be obligated to use its best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the Registration Statement effective within 90 days of the closing date of the transaction (or 120 days in the event that the Registration Statement is subject to review by the SEC), and the Company will be required to pay certain negotiated cash payments to the institutional investors in the event that the Registration Statement is not filed within 30 days of such closing date or is not declared effective within 90 days of such closing date (or 120 days in the event that the Registration Statement is subject to review by the SEC).
