[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n28 June 2024Rogue Baron Plc.(\"Rogue Baron\" or the “Company\")Half Year Reportfor the six month period ended 31 March 2024The first half of Rogue Baron’s fiscal year 2024 was a pivotal period for the Company. By year-ended September 2023, the Company had 226 cases of Shinju remaining in inventory, all of which were sold between October 15th and December 18th. During this time, and afterwards, the Company engaged in discussions about a significant investment deal with regards to Shinju. Over the past six months, a substantial amount of the Company’s time and energy was dedicated to finalising this deal, redefining the strategy for Shinju, and preparing for future progress.In March 2024, the Company made the announcement of a substantial investment from Pronghorn, a spirits investment group backed by Diageo. Pronghorn has committed to injecting USD1,000,000 into Shinju Spirits Inc. The investment comprises USD750,000 in cash and USD250,000 in business enhancement services, aimed at bolstering the growth and sales of Shinju.Following the investment, Pronghorn will hold 22.23% of Shinju Spirits, on a fully diluted basis, after exercise of the warrants, and Rogue Baron will own 60.50%. The remaining shares in Shinju Spirits Inc. are held by certain employees who have been issued stock in lieu of cash for services rendered.This investment, coupled with their expertise and guidance, is expected to significantly accelerate the Shinju brand's growth. It aims to position Shinju as one of Rogue's key objectives: developing the Shinju brand to a point where it becomes an attractive buyout target. The investment has allowed the Company to restart production on the next round of inventory, which will include the new label into the US market. For the past three months the Company has been working with Pronghorn on a more focused sales strategy which we believe will expedite Shinju’s sales growth and take the Brand to another level.This infusion of capital and partnership instills unprecedented confidence in the Company’s future prospects. It not only provides Shinju Spirits with the necessary financial resources to achieve its forthcoming objectives, but also pairs the Shinju brand with a partner possessing a deep understanding of the industry and capable of providing substantial market support.Rogue Baron’s strategic vision...
