Houston Launch Represents Foundational Step in National Growth Strategy

Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - February 9, 2026) - Chilco River Holdings, Inc. (OTCID: CRVH) ("Chilco River") a dynamic beverage company focused on strategic growth in the alcohol sector including premium bourbon, luxury tequila, and ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail mixers announced today the Houston launch of its wholly owned subsidiary, Mr. Cliff's Premium Spirits, Inc., as the initial execution phase of a longer-term U.S. distribution strategy designed to scale the brand across multiple high-population markets.

By entering Texas through Houston which is one of the largest and most influential spirits markets in the United States the Company has intentionally chosen a market capable of providing immediate validation, meaningful sales volume, and scalable growth opportunities. Management believes that early success in Houston can serve as a blueprint for expansion into additional metropolitan markets throughout Texas and beyond.

Wolf Express Liquor (www.wolfexpressliquor.com) ("Wolf Express") is a Class B Distributor based Harris County, Texas which is the largest county in Texas and host to 5,000,000+ residents. Wolf Express has over 300 current accounts with access to over 8,000 potential customers. These customers include some of the most well-known restaurants, nightclubs and bars. Mr. Cliff's gains immediate access to these on-premise customer accounts across the Greater Houston area. This established distribution footprint enables rapid product placement, near-term revenue generation, and the ability to quickly assess demand dynamics at scale.

The Company expects increasing order flow as Mr. Cliff's is introduced across Wolf Express' customer network and as on-premise tastings and brand activations drive awareness and reorder activity. Management has begun preparing additional inventory orders to support what it believes could be accelerating demand in the Houston market.

Importantly for shareholders, the Company has indicated that this Houston launch is intended as the first step in a broader national rollout. Chilco River plans to provide additional details in the coming weeks regarding a multi-state expansion strategy, including a longer-term objective of building distribution capabilities across all 50 U.S. states, subject to execution milestones and regulatory approvals.

"This launch represents execution, not speculation," said Will Lovett, Chief Executive Officer of Chilco River Holdings. "Distribution is in place, product is moving, and expansion planning is already underway."

Following Houston, the Company expects to pursue distribution opportunities in additional major Texas metropolitan markets, including Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, as part of a phased expansion approach designed to build sustainable brand presence and long-term shareholder value.

Chilco River Holdings believes the Houston launch marks the transition of Mr. Cliff's from early-stage development into active market execution, positioning the brand for continued geographic expansion and potential national scale.
