+Added: However, our pricing increases often lag our cost increases, including increases in commodity costs.
+Added: The persistence of these negative effects on our business could adversely impact our ability to reach our revenue and other financial targets.
+Added: Failure to meet our financial targets may restrict our liquidity and capital resources and our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants and may require us to modify, delay, or abandon some of our planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact operating cost reductions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, covenant compliance and ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

Current and Long-Term Liquidity
Our liquidity needs are to fund operating expenses, meet debt service obligations, and fund both current and long-term investment activities, which include capital expenditures.
−Removed: Proceeds from the Transaction and the Term Loan Facility were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our Prior Term Loan Facility and Prior ABL Facility.

A key component of our long-term growth strategy will be to complete the build-out of our extract and ready-to-drink manufacturing facility in Conway, Arkansas, which will utilize state-of-the-art equipment specifically designed to efficiently manufacture and package a wide range of beverages, such as canned or bottled cold brew coffees, lattes, assorted teas, and juice-based products.
−Removed: We initially planned to complete the build-out in phases;
−Removed: however, the Company is accelerating capital spending that was originally slated for Phase II of the project into Phase I.
−Removed: The Company will now be adding a state-of-the-art extraction technology system, a multi-serve bottling line, a specialty canning line and Bag-in-a-Box packaging lines to its Phase I projects that previously included a standard extraction system and high-speed glass bottling and canning lines.

−Removed: We believe proceeds from the Transaction, available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and more efficient use of our working capital will provide sufficient cash on-hand to complete the build-out.
−Removed: However, the Company will
−Removed: continuously evaluate its liquidity needs, and may seek to opportunistically access additional liquidity, including through either the debt or equity capital markets.
+Added: The Company expects to incur approximately $275.0 million of capital expenditures over the next three (3) years to complete the enhanced build-out of the facility.
+Added: We believe cash from operations and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Down Term Loan Facility will provide sufficient cash on-hand to complete the build-out.
+Added: However, the Company will continuously evaluate its liquidity needs, and may seek to opportunistically access additional liquidity, including through either the debt or equity capital markets.
If it is determined that we have insufficient liquidity to fund the Conway build-out or fund our acquisition strategy, we may delay the build-out of the Conway facility and/or modify the scope of the build-out and we may reprioritize our strategy to focus on organic growth opportunities, which may have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our growth objectives.
−Removed: Contractual Obligations
−Removed: Our material contractual obligations include the payment of principal and interest under our debt obligations.
−Removed: Our Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments during the first three years of approximately $2.2 million (1.25% of the original principal balance beginning December 31, 2022.
+Added: Warrant Proceeds
+Added: As of March 31, 2023, we had 19,144,120 outstanding Warrants to purchase 19,144,120 Common Shares, exercisable at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which expire on the earliest to occur of August 26, 2027 (i.e.
+Added: the five year anniversary of the Closing), redemption or liquidation.
+Added: The exercise of warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Common Shares and the spread between the exercise price of the Warrant and the price of our Common Shares at the time of exercise.
+Added: For example, to the extent that the price of our Common Shares exceeds $11.50 per share, it is more likely that holders of our Warrants will exercise their Warrants.
+Added: If the price of our Common Shares is less than $11.50 per share, it is unlikely that such holders will exercise their Warrants.
+Added: Even if our Warrants are in the money, there can be no assurance that Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants prior to their expiration.
+Added: Our Public Warrants under certain conditions, as described in their warrant agreement, are redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 per warrant or on a cashless basis.
+Added: Our Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Riverview Sponsor or its permitted transferees (except as otherwise set forth herein).
+Added: As such, it is possible that we may never generate any or only very limited cash proceeds from the
+Added: exercise of our Warrants.
+Added: As of the date of this Report on Form 10-Q, we have neither included nor intend to include any potential cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants in our short-term or long-term liquidity sources or capital resource planning.
+Added: We do not expect to rely on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund our operations.
+Added: Instead, we intend to rely on our primary sources of cash discussed above to continue to support our operations.
+Added: Therefore, the availability or unavailability of any proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants is not expected to affect our ability to fund our operations.
+Added: We will continue to evaluate the probability of Warrant exercise over the life of our Warrants and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise thereof in our liquidity sources and capital resources planning.
+Added: To the extent such Warrants are exercised, additional Common Shares will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our Common Shares and increase the number of Common Shares eligible for resale in the public market.
+Added: Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares, which increases the likelihood of periods when our Warrants will not be in the money prior to their expiration.
+Added: Redemptions of Series A Preferred Shares
+Added: After February 26, 2028 (i.e.
+Added: the five-and-half year anniversary of the Closing), any holder of Series A Preferred Shares may require Westrock to redeem all or any whole number of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares in cash, subject to applicable law and the terms of any credit agreement or similar arrangement pursuant to which a third-party lender provides debt financing to Westrock or its subsidiaries, at a redemption price per share equal to the greater of (a) the liquidation preference and (b) the product of (i) the number of Common Shares that would have been obtained from converting one Series A Preferred Share on the redemption notice date and (ii) the simple average of the daily volume-weighted average price per Common Share for the ten (10) trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the redemption notice date.
+Added: Assuming that the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares remains $11.50 per share and all 23,566,229 Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding after February 26, 2028, we estimate an aggregate redemption payment of at least approximately $271.0 million.
+Added: If Westrock was required by the holders to redeem a significant number of Series A Preferred Shares, Westrock may not have enough cash available (including through draws on its credit facility) for other purposes such as paying dividends on the Common Shares, repurchases of Common Shares, financing acquisitions or other expansions, paying employee incentives and executing its business strategy.
+Added: An outflow of a significant amount of cash from Westrock as a result of redemptions of the Series A Preferred Shares may cause a deterioration in the financial condition of Westrock and our ability to pay our other obligations and/or execute our business strategy.
+Added: The impact of such redemptions on Westrock will depend, among other things, on the financial condition of Westrock at the time of such redemptions, including the amount of available cash on hand and ability to draw on Westrock’s credit facilities or obtain other sources of financing, the business strategies and objectives of Westrock at that time and the magnitude of such redemptions.
+Added: Additionally, we may reserve cash, refrain from pursuing other business objectives and/or direct cash away from other business objectives to ensure that we have sufficient available cash to satisfy holder redemptions and this may adversely affect our business and financial condition and ability to execute on our business strategy.
+Added: Contractual and Other Obligations
+Added: Our material contractual and other obligations include the payment of principal and interest under our debt obligations and future purchase of inventory obligations.
+Added: Our Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments during the first three years of approximately $2.2 million (1.25% of the original principal balance).
Quarterly payments increase to approximately $3.3 million and $4.4 million (1.875% and 2.5% of the original principal balance) during the fourth and fifth years, respectively.
We have no other material obligations to pay principal amounts of our long-term debt obligations prior to their maturity.
−Removed: Future purchase obligations of $284.6 million as of September 30, 2022 consist of commitments for the purchase of inventory over the next 12 months.
+Added: Future purchase obligations of $278.4 million as of March 31, 2023 consist of commitments for the purchase of inventory over the next 12 months.
These obligations represent the minimum contractual obligations expected under the normal course of business.
There are no material purchase obligations beyond 12 months.
+Added: We have future obligations to repurchase $10.2 million of inventory associated with repurchase agreements in which the Company’s SS&T segment has sold inventory to a third party and from whom the Company’s Beverage Solution segment has an obligation to repurchase.
