American Marconi Wireless News - Victory Marine Holdings Announces Completion of Initial GUTSI(TM) Production and U.S. Market Launch

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / Victory Marine Holdings Corp. (OTC PINK:VMHG), through its wholly owned subsidiary Dunn & Groux Beverage Holdings, Inc. ("DGBH"), today announced the successful completion of initial production for its GUTSI^™ branded product line, with products now actively shipping and available across major U.S. markets.

This milestone marks the Company's transition from product development into full commercial execution, with inventory deployed to support existing retail commitments and distribution partnerships spanning both the East and West Coasts.

Production Completed - Product Now in Market

GUTSI^™ has successfully completed initial production of its prebiotic soda product line, with products now positioned within the Company's distribution network, including Groux Distribution Group ("GDG") operated facilities in Los Angeles, California and Tempe, Arizona, as well as distribution channels serving key East Coast markets, including New York City.

The initial soda lineup includes six flavors:

• Cola

• Root Beer

• Cream Soda

• Lemon Lime

• Orange Cream

• Grape

The Company expects functional water production to commence in June 2026 as part of the continued expansion of the GUTSI^™ product platform.

With initial soda production finalized, the Company is now focused on fulfillment, retail sell-through, and accelerated expansion of its retail footprint, supported by its vertically integrated direct-store-distribution ("DSD") platform.

Direct Store Distribution Infrastructure Expansion

Groux Distribution Group has established two company-operated DSD warehouse facilities to support regional execution and scalable growth initiatives.

The Company's 15,000-square-foot Los Angeles facility is positioned to service Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties, while its 5,000-square-foot Tempe, Arizona facility supports continued expansion throughout the Arizona market.

These facilities are expected to support the rollout of GUTSI^™ products into approximately 2,500 to 3,000 retail locations per market by year-end. In addition to supporting the GUTSI^™ brand, the Company intends to utilize its distribution infrastructure to support additional beverage and consumer product brands, creating expanded opportunities for future revenue growth and operational scale.

National Rollout Underway

The completed production directly supports the Company's expanding national footprint, including:

• Company-owned DSD operations targeting thousands of retail locations

• Active distribution across major metropolitan markets

• Strategic retail partnerships and regional distribution agreements

GUTSI^™ products are now entering high-traffic retail environments, positioning the brand for accelerated consumer adoption within the functional beverage category.

Product Portfolio

The GUTSI^™ platform includes a growing portfolio of functional and wellness-focused products, including:

• Prebiotic sodas

• Functional waters

• Supplement-based formats, including drops and gummies

The brand is supported by issued and pending intellectual property designed to strengthen its positioning within the rapidly growing functional beverage sector.
