True Drinks announced the completion of a $2.0 million term loan from Avidbank.

“I am pleased we were able to put this facility in place for True Drinks,” stated Avidbank Corporate Finance EVP, Mike Hansen. “They have assembled a high quality team with deep experience in this field. We look forward to a strong and mutually beneficial relationship.”

Dan Kerker, CFO of True Drinks, commented, “The funding of this loan with Avidbank comes as the result of True Drinks being in a much more secure financial position following our equity raise last week. This note enables us to clean up our balance sheet by paying off convertible notes. Avidbank understands our business and will be a valuable partner for us as we continue to grow.”
