It's Official! FINRA approves Top Shelf's Corporate Actions

HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Alonzo Pierce, CEO of Top Shelf Brands Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) (OTCBB: DKTS), is pleased to announced that on Friday, Nov. 14, the company received final approval from FINRA for the corporate name change, stock ticker symbol change and CUSIP number change.

More importantly, the approval from the regulatory agency charged with protecting investors validates all the corporate actions previously recognized by the State of Nevada. The path is now clear for Top Shelf Brands to move forward with its aggressive company business plan. Pierce had put the implementation of any business initiatives on hold until FINRA gave its approval.

"We have successfully completed yet another step towards making this company viable for the long haul," Pierce said. "This was a total team effort and I want to thank those loyal shareholders who stood strong with the company throughout this entire arduous process."

In addition to the inaugural Besado tasting on Wednesday, Top Shelf has scheduled four additional tasting review parties at Blue Martini locations. The tasting review party will make an encore appearance in Boca Raton on Dec. 3, moves to Ft. Lauderdale on Dec. 17 and goes across the state to West Palm Beach on Dec. 17. The first party of 2015 will be at the Brickell site on Jan. 21.

"The Besado party set for Wednesday at the Blue Martini in Boca Raton is just the tip of the iceberg," Pierce said. "We will soon be announcing additional promotions and giveaways as well as the specifics of the search to find the first 'cover girl' for Besado Tequila."

Harry Mehta, owner of the Silo .5% Wine Bar & Restaurant (www.silo.5winebar.com) and multiple liquor stores in Baltimore, heard about Besado Tequila from a distributor and sees Besado as a game-changer in the tequila market, especially in the way that it will be received by the female consumer.

"There is no question that tequila has long carried the perception of being a shot liquor, mainly purchased by the male consumer," said Mehta, who is recognized by many as a connoisseur of tequila. "Everything about Besado, from the bottle design to the aphrodisiac herbs, says that this cutting edge tequila will appeal to consumers of both sexes."

Mehta was so impressed with Besado that he asked Pierce to schedule a tasting event in Baltimore in December. Although the date has not yet been finalized, Pierce confirmed that Silo .5% will be the host of the first tasting review party outside the State of Florida.

"This really says something about Besado that people are reaching out to us so early in the marketing process," Pierce said. "I look forward to introducing Besado to the mid-Atlantic region. Maryland blue crabs and Besado Tequila – I like the sound of that combination."
