The Fort Worth Press - Aspire Biopharma's Subsidiary, Buzz Bomb Caffeine Company, Appoints John Choe as Western Sales Director

Choe joins Buzz Bomb following a successful tenure as District Manager at Yerbaé (2016-2025), where he specialized in the natural energy drink category, achieving a 70% increase in overall sales within a highly competitive market. He accomplished this by spearheading the development of brand ambassador programs and innovative marketing tools tailored to both identified and untapped consumer segments. His strategic use of S.W.O.T. analysis and his ability to navigate complex DSD (Direct Store Delivery) and wholesale relationships with partners like WinCo, KeHE, and Kroger was instrumental to his success.

"John's deep expertise in the beverage and retail sectors, combined with a visionary approach to market analysis and consumer engagement, makes him an ideal leader to spearhead our sales strategy in the western United States," stated Kraig Higginson, Interim CEO of Aspire Biopharma. "The ability to build productive relationships and a creative approach to reaching both identified and untapped consumer segments will be instrumental as the brand continues to scale."

Choe's extensive background includes pivotal roles at global brands such as:

Nike (1999-2005): Managed major accounts like Nordstrom and specialized in futures ordering across Northern and Southern California.

Mars Candy (2005-2009): Led sales and merchandising efforts for massive retail outlets including Walmart, Target, and Safeway.

Bosch (2009-2012): Spearheaded training and product education for retail giants Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ace Hardware.

With 11 years of dedicated supervisory experience, Choe is a specialist in hiring, mentoring, and coaching direct reports to peak performance. His leadership style emphasizes compliance, accountability, and the development of talent. Furthermore, his fluency in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese provides a unique edge in engaging with diverse markets.

"I am thrilled to join BUZZ BOMB^™ at such a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory," said John Choe. "The energy category is evolving quickly, and I look forward to leveraging my experience in retail partnerships to expand our footprint and bring Buzz Bomb's innovative products to a wider audience."

Aspire's forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding our future operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "intends," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements represent our views as of the date of this press release and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ in our drug or supplement offerings include general market conditions, whether clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy and safety of our drug candidates to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities, or do not otherwise produce positive results which may cause us to incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our drug candidates; the clinical results for our drug candidates, which may not support further development or marketing approval; actions of regulatory agencies, which may affect the initiation, timing and progress of clinical trials and marketing approval; our ability to achieve commercial success for our drug or supplement candidates, if approved; our limited operating history and our ability to obtain additional funding for operations and to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates, and other risks and uncertainties set forth in "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
