3 Company Update 3

4 A SHORT, BUT EVENTFUL HISTORY Founder’s Story 4 Diana Jenkins is the visionary behind the creation of Neuro. Born in Bosnia, Diana has faced many challenges in her lifetime. Having lived through the Bosnian war, family heartache and poverty, Diana used these trials to fuel her desire to lead a better life for herself, family and to eventually help those around her. From Bosnia, Diana moved to London, put herself through college and graduated with a degree in computer science, then made a final move to Los Angeles with her family. Here, she searched for a beverage that would support her active and healthy lifestyle, but only found products that were packed with sugar and excessive calories. There was no product line on the market that could officer a healthy way to enhance all of her activities throughout the day. Inspired by this lack of options, Diana worked with the best researchers and scientists to develop a truly functional line of drinks, each formulated with real ingredients and distinct flavor profiles. Diana brought Neuro to life in 2007 by launching 7 different drinks simultaneously. The iconic, eye-catching bottles serve as the embodiment of the way Diana uses Neuro to ignite all of the ways she lives life. And Neuro’s success validates Diana’s lasting vision that a superior functional drink line can EXIST and used to INSPIRE the passions of its consumers
