Prime Drink Group Provides an Update on Its Bottling Subsidiary Receivership
MONTREAL, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prime Drink Group Corp. (CSE: PRME) ('Prime' or the 'Company') announces that its bottling subsidiary, formerly known as Triani Canada Inc. ('Triani'), has been placed into receivership and has ceased operations. Triani's receivership was ordered on June 10, 2025, by the Superior Court, District of Montreal, at the request of Triani's principal creditors pursuant to Section 243 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), as disclosed in the Company's press release dated April 7, 2025. The Company wishes to clarify that the parent company, Prime Drink Group Corp., and all of its other subsidiaries are not subject to this receivership. Ownership of the freshwater rights is segregated from Triani, and operations are continuing. Consistent with its objective of resuming growth of its business and brands, Prime is currently evaluating several options, including its intention to submit an offer to the principal creditors to acquire certain strategic assets of Triani. In addition, the Company is considering other avenues of recourse with respect to Triani and the various stakeholders. 'The receivership of Triani a few months after its acquisition puts us in a challenging situation but our resolve and vision remain unwavering. It is our intention to fight to recover what is owed to Prime and to continue developing our valuable strategic water and beverage assets. We are fortunate to have an experienced team in innovation, brand strategy and marketing that will be able to leverage Prime's assets for the benefit of our shareholders and come out stronger,' said Olivier Primeau, VP Marketing, Strategic Vision and Acquisitions at Prime. The Company reaffirms its commitment to the responsible development of its water resources in Québec. Discussions with government authorities are progressing well. Prime also wishes to announce the appointment of Jean Gosselin as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Jean has over 40 years of experience in finance and operations and previously served as Vice President of Finance and Corporate Secretary of Prime.

Canadian road trips to US drop 38 percent year-on-year
The number of Canadians returning from road trips to the United States fell sharply in May compared to the same period in 2024. Canadian-resident return trips by car totaled 1.3 million, a 38.1 percent drop from May 2024 — marking the fifth consecutive month of year-over-year declines. Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. by air also fell — by 24.2 percent — compared to May 2024. The decline in Canadian-resident air travel from the U.S. accounts for the overall dip in return air travel. While Canadians' return travel by air declined by 3.7 percent overall, return air travel increased by 9.8 percent among Canadians returning from overseas countries compared to last May. U.S. residents, meanwhile, traveled to Canada at a lower rate than they did last year but saw a more modest decline than their Canadian counterparts. U.S.-resident arrivals to Canada by car fell by 8.4 percent and, by air, fell by 0.3 percent, compared to last May. The decline in Canadian road trips to the U.S. continued a trend seen in prior months. In April 2025, Canadian-resident return trips by car from the U.S. totaled 1.2 million — a 35.2 percent decline from April 2024. Canadian-resident return trips by air fell by 19.9 percent, compared to the prior month. The overall tourism decline threatens to wipe out $12.5 billion from the American economy this year, NewsNation reported. The decline in tourism comes as tensions between the U.S. and Canada have cooled under the Trump administration, as President Trump continues to muse publicly about making Canada a 51st state of America, which Prime Minister Mark Carney has repeatedly rejected as a nonstarter.
