WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A CONSENT OR PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A CONSENT OR PROXY.

INTRODUCTION

This Information Statement advises stockholders of the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, and by written consent of the holders a majority of the Company’s voting stock, of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), authorized for issuance thereunder from 200.0 million shares to 300.0 million shares. A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.

The increase of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock will become effective upon the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which filing will occur no less than 20 days after the date this Information Statement to first mailed to or otherwise delivered to our stockholders.

AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present, consent to such action in writing. Accordingly, approval of the Amendment required the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”). On the Record Date, the Company had 106,352,235 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share, 1,342,870 shares of Series B Preferred issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast 16 votes for every share of Series B Preferred held, and 34,073 shares of Series C Preferred issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast approximately 666.67 votes for every share of Series C Preferred held.

Our Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Amendment on November 4, 2015, subject to stockholder approval, and on November 17, 2015, we received written consents approving the Amendment from holders of our Common Stock, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred holding shares equal to approximately 51.9% of our outstanding voting class.

Accordingly, we have obtained all corporate approval required for the Amendment. We are not seeking written consent of the Amendment from any other stockholder, and the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the Amendment. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising stockholders of the action approved by written consent and giving stockholders notice of the Amendment and forthcoming increase of our authorized Common Stock, as required by the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As the Amendment was approved by written consent of the holders a majority of the Company’s voting stock, there will be no stockholders’ meeting, and representatives of the principal accountants for the current year and for the most recently completed fiscal year will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.

We will, following the expiration of the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act and the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, file the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Amendment will become effective upon such filing and we anticipate that such filing will occur approximately 20 days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S CAPITAL STOCK

General

The Company’s authorized capital stock currently consists of 200.0 million shares of Common Stock, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of which 2.75 million shares have been designated as Series B Preferred and 150,000 shares have been designated as Series C Preferred. Based on the number of shares, options, warrants and convertible notes outstanding as of November 20, 2015, there were: (i) 106,352,235 outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) 1,342,870 shares of Series B Preferred convertible into approximately 21.5 million shares of Common Stock; (iii) 34,073 shares of Series C Preferred convertible into approximately 22.7 million shares of Common Stock; (iv) approximately 17.1 million shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance as restricted stock awards under our 2013 Stock Incentive Plan; and (v) outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 61.3 million shares of Common Stock. As a result, there are approximately 229.03 million shares issued and outstanding, assuming conversion and exercise of all outstanding derivative securities.

Common Stock

As of November 20, 2015, there were 106,352,235 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive, ratably, any dividends that may be declared by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the Company’s net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities, and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are also subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock which the Company may designate and issue in the future without further stockholder approval.

Preferred Stock

The Board is currently authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, term of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designations without further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of management without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

As of November 20, 2015, we had two outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred. Below is a summary of the terms of the Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred. For a full description of the rights and preferences associated with each series of Preferred Stock, please refer to the Series B Certificate of Designation and the Series C Certificate of Designation (each defined below), each available as an exhibit to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In November 2013, the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”) was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, and subsequently amended and restated in February 2015, in order to designate 2.75 million shares of our Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred. The following summarizes the current rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred:

Rank. The Series B Preferred ranks senior to our Common Stock, and on parity with the Series C Preferred.

Dividends. Holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 5% per annum, which dividends are currently payable in either cash or shares of Common Stock.

Voting Rights. Subject to certain restrictions in the Series B Certificate of Designation, the holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to vote alongside holder of Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, on all matters as to which the approval of the stockholders may be required.

Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets, whether capital or surplus, an amount equal to the stated value of the Series B Preferred ($4 per share), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities, including holders of our Common Stock. If the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay, in full, such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

-2-

Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the stated value thereof, divided by $0.25 per share (the "Series B Conversion Shares"). The Company has the option to require the conversion of the Series B Preferred into Series B Conversion Shares in the event the daily trading volume of the Company's Common Stock, divided by the closing price, equals at least $250,000 for 20 consecutive trading days and the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock is at least $0.62 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

Certain Price and Share Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock equivalents; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the conversion price shall be adjusted accordingly.

b) Merger or Reorganization. If the Company is involved in any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property than each shares of Series B Preferred shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one share of Series B Preferred prior to any such merger or reorganization would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In February 2015, the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”) was first filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, and later amended and restated in March 2015, August 2015 and November 2015, in order to designate 150,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series C Preferred. The following summarizes the current rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred:

Rank. The Series C Preferred ranks senior to our Common Stock, and on parity with the Series B Preferred.

Voting Rights. The holders of the Series C Preferred are entitled to vote alongside holder of Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, on all matters as to which the approval of the stockholders may be required.

Liquidation. Upon any Liquidation, the holders of Series C Preferred are entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets, whether capital or surplus, an amount equal to the stated value of the Series C Preferred ($100 per share), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities, including the Common Stock. If the Company’s assets are insufficient to pay, in full, such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of the Series C Preferred shall be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

Conversion. Each share of Series C Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the stated value thereof, divided by $0.15 per share (the “Series C Conversion Shares”). The Company has the option to require the conversion of the Series C Preferred into Series C Conversion Shares in the event the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock is at least $0.62 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

Certain Price and Share Adjustments.

b) Merger or Reorganization. If the Company is involved in any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property than each shares of Series C Preferred shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one share of Series C Preferred prior to any such merger or reorganization would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction.

AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Purpose of and Rationale for the Amendment

We are currently authorized to issue a total of 200.0 million shares of Common Stock. Of this amount, 106,352,235 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of November 20, 2015. In addition to shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, we are required to reserve sufficient shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible securities.

On February 18, 2015, we filed Series C Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State, designating 50,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock as Series C Preferred, which amount was increased by the amendments to the Series C Certificate of Designation filed in March 2015, August 2015 and November 2015. Following the November 2015 amendment to the Series C Certificate of Designation, 150,000 shares of our Preferred Stock were designated as Series C Preferred. Each share of Series C Preferred has a stated value of $100 per share (the “Stated Value”), and is convertible, at the option of each respective holder, into that number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Stated Value, divided by $0.15 per share (the “Conversion Shares”). The Series C Certificate of Designation also gives the Company the option to require the conversion of the Series C Preferred into Conversion Shares in the event: (i) there are sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock reserved as Conversion Shares; (ii) the Conversion Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Conversion Shares are freely tradable, without restriction, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act; and (iii) the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock is at least $0.62 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

On August 13, 2015, the Company and Red Beard Holdings, LLC, one the Company’s largest stockholders (“Red Beard”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), wherein Red Beard purchased 17,648 shares of Series C Preferred for $113.33 per share over the course of three separate closings between August 13, 2015 and September 15, 2015 (the “Series C Offering”). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million from the issuance of shares of Series C Preferred under the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Red Beard also received five-year warrants (the “Series C Warrants”), exercisable for $0.17 per share (the “Exercise Price”), to purchase a total of 3,633,411 shares of Common Stock, an amount equal to 35% of (i) the Stated Value of the shares of Series C Preferred issued to Red Beard, divided by (ii) the Exercise Price (the “Series C Warrant Shares”).

On October 16, 2015, the Company and Red Beard executed an amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company sold to Red Beard an additional 8,823 shares of Series C Preferred for gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million. As additional consideration for the purchase of the shares of Series C Preferred under the Purchase Agreement Amendment, Red Beard received an additional Series C Warrant to purchase approximately 1.81 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $0.17 per share.

Additionally, on October 9, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, True Drinks, Inc., entered into a bottling agreement (the “Niagara Agreement”) with Niagara Bottling, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Niagara”), pursuant to which Niagara will become the exclusive manufacturer of AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water for the next five years. With Niagara, True Drinks will produce an improved “clean label” formulation of AquaBall™, which will remain sugar and calorie free but will eliminate all preservatives from the current formula. We expect to begin delivering this preservative free formulation of AquaBall™ at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Mr. Vincent C. Smith, Manager of Red Beard and the Company’s largest stockholder, executed a personal guaranty of True Drinks’ obligations under the Niagara Agreement (the “Personal Guaranty”). As consideration for Mr. Smith’s execution of the Personal Guaranty, the Company issued to Mr. Smith a five-year warrant (the “Personal Guaranty Warrant”), to purchase 17.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), for $0.188 per share, which exercise price was reduced to $0.17 per share following the issuances to Red Bear pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Amendment.

Although these issuances provided us with working capital and assisted us to execute certain components of our business plan, the securities issued to Red Beard and Mr. Smith obligated the Company to reserve shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount authorized under our Articles of Incorporation. As of the Record Date, the Company was obligated to reserve the following shares of Common Stock:

Ÿ	21,485,920 shares of Common Stock as Series B Conversion Shares;
Ÿ	22,715,334 shares of Common Stock as Series C Conversion Shares;
Ÿ	61,383,864 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants, including the Series C Warrants and the Personal Guaranty Warrant; and

Ÿ	17,093,100 shares of Common Stock, currently reserved for issuance as restricted stock awards under our 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

Thus, as of the Record Date, a total of 229,030,453 shares of our Common Stock were either issued and outstanding, or reserved for issuance as described above. Such amount exceeded our authorized Common Stock by approximately 29.03 million shares. Moreover, the anti-dilution provisions applicable to outstanding warrants and certain convertible promissory notes provide that the amount of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of such securities will be increased under certain circumstances.

-4-

As a result, our Board of Directors and stockholders owning a majority of our issued and outstanding voting stock approved the Amendment in order to implement an increase to our authorized shares of Common Stock to 200 million so the Company will have sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock to permit conversion and exercise of all of its currently outstanding securities, including the securities issued to Red Beard and Mr. Smith. Additionally, the increased number of shares of Common Stock will enable us to respond quickly to opportunities to raise capital in public or private offerings. The availability of additional authorized shares will enable our Board of Directors to act with flexibility to issue shares of Common Stock in connection with future financings, strategic acquisitions, debt restructurings or resolutions, equity compensation and incentives to employees and officers, forward stock splits and other favorable opportunities that may arise to enhance our capital structure.

If, however, we do not file the Amendment, we will be in breach of certain covenants of the Purchase Agreement, and we will not have sufficient shares of Common Stock to issue upon exercise or conversion of the shares if Series C Preferred issued to Red Beard pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Series C Warrants and the Personal Guaranty Warrant, as well as any other outstanding derivative securities. Moreover, we will be unable to issue any shares of Common Stock, preventing us from taking advantage of any opportunity for addition working capital that requires the issuance of Common Stock.

We believe that the Amendment will provide for a sufficient number of shares of Common to satisfy the Company’s obligations to issue Common Stock, as described herein. Other than as specified above and as permitted or required under outstanding options, warrants and other securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock, the Company has no present arrangements, agreements or understandings for the use of the additional shares proposed to be authorized. No additional action or authorization by the stockholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of any additional shares, unless required by applicable law. We reserve the right to seek a further increase in authorized shares, from time to time in the future as appropriate.

Effect on Outstanding Common Stock

The additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Amendment will have the same privileges as the shares of Common Stock currently authorized and issued. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights under our Articles of Incorporation and will not have such rights with respect to the additional authorized shares of Common Stock. The increase to our authorized shares would not affect the terms or rights of holders of existing shares of Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock will continue to have one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders, including the election of directors.

The issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock may, depending on the circumstances under which those shares are issued, reduce stockholders' equity per share and, unless additional shares are issued to all stockholders on a pro rata basis, will reduce the percentage ownership of Common Stock of existing stockholders. In addition, if our Board of Directors elects to issue additional shares of Common Stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and shareholdings of current stockholders. We expect, however, to receive consideration for any additional shares of Common Stock issued, thereby reducing or eliminating any adverse economic effect to each stockholder of such dilution.

The Amendment will not otherwise alter or modify the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Common Stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects

Although the Amendment is not motivated by anti-takeover concerns and is not considered by our Board of Directors to be an anti-takeover measure, the availability of additional authorized shares of Common Stock could enable the Board of Directors to issue shares defensively in response to a takeover attempt or to make an attempt to gain control of the Company more difficult or time-consuming. For example, shares of Common Stock could be issued to purchasers who might side with management in opposing a takeover bid that the Board of Directors determines is not in our best interests, thus diluting the ownership and voting rights of the person seeking to obtain control of the Company. In certain circumstances, the issuance of Common Stock without further action by the stockholders may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, may discourage bids for our Common Stock at a premium over the prevailing market price and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, increasing the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock could render more difficult and less likely a hostile takeover, tender offer or proxy contest, assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our stock, and the possible removal of our incumbent management. We are not aware of any proposed attempt to take over the Company or of any present attempt to acquire a large block of our Common Stock.

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, holders of our capital stock are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation and the adoption of the Amendment.
