Proxy Statement Summary

This summary highlights information that is contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. It does not include all information necessary to make a voting decision and you should read this Proxy Statement in its entirety before casting your vote. References to “BRCC,” “Black Rifle Coffee,” “Black Rifle Coffee Company,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to BRC Inc., together with its controlled subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

Black Rifle Coffee Company at a Glance

Black Rifle Coffee Company is a Veteran-founded and led premium coffee, and energy drink company operating through one reportable segment composed of three primary channels: Wholesale, Direct to Consumer (“DTC”), and Outposts. We leverage in-house media and content creation to support brand awareness, customer engagement, and community building. Founded in 2014 by U.S. Army Veteran Evan Hafer, the company began with a one-pound coffee roaster in a garage, where Hafer personally roasted, packaged, and shipped coffee directly to consumers. Today, Black Rifle Coffee has grown into a widely recognized and nationally distributed brand steadfast in its commitment to supporting active-duty military, Veterans, first responders, and others who share our values.

At Black Rifle Coffee, we develop roast profiles with the mission-driven focus we learned while serving our country. Our offerings extend beyond coffee, including Black Rifle Energy, a ready-to-drink energy beverage, Black Rifle Coffee-branded apparel, coffee brewing equipment, and outdoor lifestyle gear that our customers proudly use to showcase their connection to our brand.

We create proprietary digital and social media content designed to strengthen our connection with the Black Rifle Coffee community. Guided by a three-pronged strategy—Inform, Inspire, and Entertain—we use content to educate consumers on our products and brand, including insights into our roasting processes and premium offerings. Through compelling storytelling, we highlight the experiences of Veterans, first responders, and everyday heroes who embody our mission. At the same time, we captivate and entertain with humor, creativity, and engaging formats that resonate deeply with our loyal and passionate customer base. This comprehensive approach reflects our core values while fostering lasting brand loyalty and recognition.

FY2025 Business Highlights


	•			Total revenue was $398.3 million in 2025, with Wholesale channel revenue increasing by 5% year-over-year, driven primarily by distribution expansion and velocity growth in packaged coffee sales, as well as contributions from Black Rifle Energy. Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) channel revenue decreased by 5% to $117.6 million in 2025, primarily due to the impact of a $6.5 million decrease in the accrual for loyalty rewards points in 2024 following a change in the policy related to expiration of loyalty reward points.
	•			According to Nielsen, in 2025 our packaged coffee distribution increased by 7.9 points to 54.9% All Commodity Volume (“ACV”), a dollar-weighted measure of the percentage of total retail sales represented by stores that carry our products. Our Ready-to-Drink coffee distribution increased by 10.0 points to 55.9% ACV. Additionally, Black Rifle Energy achieved approximately 20% ACV distribution within three months of its introduction.
	•			According to Nielsen retail measurement data, in 2025 our packaged coffee business grew 31.1%, approximately three times the broader category growth rate, driven by unit growth of more than 22%. Our share in bagged coffee reached 3.3%, an increase of 60 basis points year over year, while pods reached 2.2%, an increase of 40 basis points. In Ready-to-Drink coffee, we maintained the #3 share position in the category. These gains were supported by expanded distribution and improved shelf productivity with key retail partners.

BRC Inc.	1	2026 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS


	•			Gross margin declined in 2025 as elevated green coffee costs and tariff impacts more than offset productivity improvements and pricing actions implemented during the year. Coffee prices nearly doubled compared to the prior year, creating a significant cost headwind across the business despite continued supply chain efficiency efforts and favorable product mix improvements. Total operating expenses increased modestly compared to 2024, reflecting higher general and administrative expenses and certain non-recurring items, partially offset by lower marketing spend and restructuring actions implemented during the year. Cash used in operating activities was approximately $9.8 million in 2025, primarily reflecting working capital normalization during the period.
	•			Approximately one-third of our employees are Veterans or military spouses, underscoring our continued commitment to hiring and supporting the military and first-responder communities, along with meaningful support through cash and product donations.

Proposal No. 1: Election of Class I Directors

We are asking you to vote for the election of Kathryn Dickson, Chris Mondzelewski and Lawrence “Chip” Molloy as Class I directors, to serve for a three-year term expiring at our 2029 Annual Meeting.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We are also asking you to ratify our audit committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2026. Although stockholder ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by law or our organizational documents, the Board has determined that it is desirable to seek stockholder ratification as a matter of good corporate governance in the view of the critical role played by independent registered public accounting firms in maintaining the integrity of financial controls and reporting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Philanthropy

Our mission is to serve premium coffee beverages and content to active-duty military, Veterans, first responders, and all who love America. Founded with a commitment to give back, we became a Delaware public benefit corporation under Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) Sections 361-368. Unlike a traditional corporation, focused solely on maximizing shareholder value, we balance profit with our commitment to a broader public benefit, ensuring that our business decisions positively impact employees, customers, suppliers, and military and first responder communities. Our public benefit purpose is to “support the underserved active military, Veteran, and first-responder communities.” To support such a broad public benefit purpose, our Board has established specific objectives, including the following:

•	Creating meaningful post-military service career opportunities for Veterans, first responders, and their families;

•	Donating cash, coffee and in-kind resources to charities that support the needs of active military, Veterans, and first responders;

•	Supporting charities focusing on mental health issues in the Veteran community;

•	Inspiring Veterans to pursue entrepreneurship through targeted programs and donations; and

•	Providing quality products and media that resonate with these audiences.

In 2025, we continued to expand these initiatives, reinforcing our commitment to those who serve.

Veteran and Military Spouse Hiring

As a Veteran-founded and led company, we remain steadfast in integrating military-affiliated individuals into our workforce, furthering our long-term goal of hiring 10,000 Veterans. We recognize that our success is rooted in their work ethic and discipline, and we aim to provide career opportunities that allow service members to transition successfully into private industry. In line with our long-term objective of hiring 10,000 Veterans, we prioritize hiring practices that integrate them into our workforce and maintain a strong and cohesive culture dedicated to service and excellence. We continued our commitment to hiring Veterans, military spouses, and military-affiliated individuals in 2025.

Of the 287 positions we filled in 2025, we added: 46 Veterans, 5 Active Service, 6 First Responders, 18 military dependents, and 13 military spouses. As of the close of 2025, approximately 33% of our 468 team members are comprised of Veterans, military spouses, first responders, and active service members.

We continue to support our partnerships with mission-driven organizations, including: BreakLine (Veterans career development), Allegiant Vets (transitioning military support), and the Military Spouse Employment Network (military spouse employment). We also remained highly engaged in the Department of Defense SkillBridge Program, providing transitioning service members with civilian work experience. Our 2025 SkillBridge interns supported key business functions, including: sales, recruiting, logistics, merchandising and project management.

Corporate Philanthropy and Donations

We remained committed to supporting veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families through a range of philanthropic initiatives during 2025. These efforts included nonprofit partnerships, community events, direct assistance to individuals in need, and in-kind product donations supporting organizations aligned with our mission.

During the first half of the year, we partnered with several organizations to support events focused on veteran wellness, resilience, and community engagement. These efforts included the Veteran Adaptive Athlete Shoot, conducted in partnership with Archery Country, Staccato Ranch, Texas Para Sports, and the Total Archery Challenge, which brought together adaptive veteran athletes for a weekend of community and competition. We also partnered with the HunterSeven Foundation to support cancer screening and toxic exposure education for veterans and first responders. These screenings were conducted at industry events including SHOT Show and SOF Week, helping raise awareness and providing early detection resources for individuals who may have been exposed to hazardous conditions during their service. We also participated in Operation Homefront’s Military Child of the Year Awards, supporting recognition of military children from each service branch and highlighting the contributions and sacrifices made by military families. In partnership with Team Red, White and Blue, we supported the Old Glory Ultra Relay, a 3,000-mile relay from San Diego to Washington, D.C. designed to promote veteran wellness, unity, and community engagement while raising awareness for veteran support programs.

During the third quarter, we responded to flooding in Texas Hill Country by providing on-site support to first responders and volunteers assisting impacted communities. The response included serving hot coffee, distributing ready-to-drink beverages and bags of coffee, and providing donated supplies. The effort also included collaboration with Operation BBQ Relief to support meal distribution to responders and residents in affected areas. We also sponsored Rescue 22 during The Tactical Games in Fairfield, Utah and served as a presenting sponsor for the Stay In Step Gala, which supports spinal cord injury recovery and adaptive therapy programs.

During the fourth quarter, we launched a Breast Cancer Awareness campaign featuring a limited-edition product designed to raise awareness and funding for military-affiliated women battling breast cancer. The initiative generated $30,000 to support the Military Patient Relief Fund through the National Breast Cancer Foundation. We partnered with Merging Vets & Players to host the Rise N Grind veterans workout event at The Star in Frisco, Texas. More than 200 veterans participated in the event, which focused on strengthening community connections and promoting mental health and wellness.

One of our largest philanthropic initiatives during the year was Operation Debt of Gratitude. In partnership with ForgiveCo and Born Primitive, the campaign helped eliminate more than $34 million in medical debt for approximately 15,000 veterans across the United States.

During the holiday season, we supported Operation Homefront’s Meals for Military initiative, helping provide groceries and gift cards to more than 1,000 military families experiencing food insecurity. We also participated in Boot Campaign’s Seasons of Service initiative, which provides toys, care packages, and support for military families during the holiday season.

We concluded the year by supporting several mission-aligned national events, including the Travis Manion Foundation’s Army-Navy Game tailgate and mission-driven activations during Cowboy Christmas and the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. During these events, we donated $350,000 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation to support educational opportunities for the children of fallen service members.

Through these initiatives, we continued to advance our public benefit purpose of supporting the underserved active military, veteran, and first-responder communities.

Mental Health in the Veteran Community

Addressing mental health challenges among Veterans remains a top priority for Black Rifle Coffee Company. In 2025, we strengthened our focus on organizations dedicated to supporting those struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Alongside our commitment to the Boot Campaign, we provided financial support to the Brothers Keeper Veteran Foundation, an organization that assists combat Veterans with overcoming PTSD and other psychological challenges. We also continued our partnership with Shields & Stripes, which delivers holistic recovery programs for Veterans, first responders, and healthcare workers. These contributions align with our mission to reduce Veteran suicide rates and ensure that those who have served our country receive the care and treatment they deserve.

Media & Content Initiatives

Through compelling storytelling, we remain committed to preserving the legacy of our nation’s heroes and ensuring that their contributions are never forgotten. We pride ourselves on creating original media content to help promote our intended public benefit purpose. We have a number of outlets including the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast released every week containing exclusive interviews and content about inspiring the American Dream through hard work and adventure. The Black Rifle Coffee Company YouTube Channel is another source for great content from the founders of BRCC.

In 2025, we leveraged our media platforms to highlight the achievements and sacrifices of the military and first responder communities. We created content celebrating historic moments such as the U.S. Army’s 250^th Birthday and D-Day Anniversary, attended events and produced stories that honored those who have served.

Looking Ahead

As we look to 2026, our corporate philanthropy team remains dedicated to expanding our impact. Through continued support for our nonprofit partners, increased hiring efforts within the Veteran and military spouse communities, and innovative media initiatives that share the stories of those who serve, we plan to build on the successes of 2025. You bought. We gave. Vets won. We are proud of what we have accomplished and look forward to continuing our mission in the years ahead.

To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote via the Internet or telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Internet Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

If you submit your proxy, you may still decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares electronically.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in “Street Name.”

If your shares are held in “street name” through a bank or broker, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank or broker. You must follow their instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Internet and telephone voting also may be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. You may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote, ask questions, or access the list of stockholders as of the record date.

Vote Requirements

Proposal No. 1: Election of Class I Directors

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the director nominees. The election of each Class I director requires a majority vote of the votes cast by the holders of the Class A and Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes shall not count as a vote cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the ratification of our audit committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required to ratify the appointment of our independent auditors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Proposal No. 3: Approval of Amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Effect a Reverse Stock Split of Class A Common Stock

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” with respect to Proposal No. 3. Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the Reverse Stock Split, however, we do not anticipate any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

Proposal No. 4: Approval of the Adjournment of the Annual Meeting

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the Board’s ability to adjourn the annual meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve Proposal No. 4. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interests of Directors and Officers

Director nominees, including current directors, standing for election at the Annual Meeting have a substantial interest in Proposal No. 1, which concerns the election of directors. Directors and executive officers have no substantial interest in Proposal Nos. 2 and 4, which relate to (A) the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm, and (B) the approval of the Board adjourning the meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Reverse Stock Split. Certain of our officers and directors have an interest in Proposal No. 3, which relates to the Reverse Stock Split as a result of their ownership of shares of the Common Stock, as set forth in the section entitled “Beneficial Ownership of our Common Stock” below. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in Proposal No. 3 that are different from or greater than those of any other of our stockholders.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

For certain proposals, brokers may not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter if they have not received specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares (“broker non-votes”). Banks, brokerage firms, and other nominees who hold our shares in street name for their customers generally have authority to vote on “routine” proposals such as the ratification of auditors when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, they are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to the election of directors or other “non-routine” matters.

An abstention represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. If a stockholder indicates on its proxy card that it wishes to abstain from voting its shares or withholds votes as to a particular proposal, or if a broker, bank or other nominee holding its customer’s shares of record causes abstentions or withheld votes to be recorded for shares, these shares will be considered present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted as being present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be considered “votes cast” with respect to Proposal No. 1 (Election of Directors), Proposal No. 2 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm) and Proposal No. 4 (Adjournment of the Annual Meeting).

Accordingly, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no impact on the outcome of Proposals Nos. 1, 2 and 4 contained in this Proxy Statement but will have the effect of a vote “against” Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Effect a Reverse Stock Split of Class A Common Stock). As Proposals No. 3 and 4 are routine matters, we do not anticipate that there will be any broker non-votes on such proposals.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy given by a stockholder of record pursuant to this Proxy Statement may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting by submitting a written notice of revocation to BRC Inc., 3131 W. 2210 S., Suite C, West Valley City, UT 84119, Attention: Legal, or over the Internet or by phone by following the instructions included in your proxy materials. Stockholders may also revoke their proxy by entering a new vote over the Internet or by telephone, by signing and returning a new proxy card by mail (only your latest proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted), or by attending and voting at the online Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

Our Board is making this solicitation and we will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. Copies of solicitation materials may be furnished to brokers, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries for forwarding to beneficial owners of our Class A and Class B Common Stock, and normal handling charges may be paid for such forwarding service. Officers and other of our employees, who will receive no additional compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by mail, email, via the Internet, personal interview, or telephone.

Proposal No. 1:

Election of Class I Directors

Overview

Our Board currently consists of ten directors. At the Annual Meeting, three Class I directors will be elected. Kathryn Dickson, Chris Mondzelewski and Lawrence “Chip” Molloy are our current Class I directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting. The nominating and corporate governance committee has recommended, and the Board has approved, the nomination of Ms. Dickson and Messrs. Mondzelewski and Molloy to stand for election at the Annual Meeting. As Class I nominees, if elected, Ms. Dickson and Messrs. Mondzelewski and Molloy will serve three-year terms expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting, or until their respective earlier death, resignation, or removal from the Board.

As set forth in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. The current class structure is as follows: Class I directors, whose current terms expire at this Annual Meeting, and whose subsequent terms will expire at the annual meeting in 2029; Class II directors, whose current terms expire at the annual meeting in 2027; and Class III directors, whose current terms expire at the annual meeting in 2028. Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below), the term of all Class I directors will automatically become one year commencing with the annual meeting in 2029, the term of all Class II directors will automatically become one year commencing with the annual meeting in 2030, and the term of all Class III directors will automatically become one year commencing with the annual meeting in 2031, with all directors having a term of one year from and after the annual meeting of stockholders in 2031. The current Class I directors are Kathryn Dickson, Chris Mondzelewski and Lawrence “Chip” Molloy; the current Class II directors are Clayton Hutmacher, Stephen Kadenacy and Sean Moriarty; and the current Class III Directors are Evan Hafer, Mel Landis, Steven Taslitz and Glenn Welling.

The nominees have consented to serve if elected. However, if the nominees fail to stand for election, decline to accept election, or are otherwise unavailable for election prior to our Annual Meeting, proxies solicited by our Board will be voted by the proxy holders for the election of any other person or persons as the Board may recommend, or our Board, at its option, may reduce the number of directors that constitute the entire Board.

Criteria for Nomination to the Board

The nominating and corporate governance committee assesses the skills, experiences, and attributes our Board should represent to align its individual and group strengths with our Company’s long-term strategic plan and the interests of our stockholders. The nominating and corporate governance committee identifies director nominees using the criteria set forth below and any other criteria that may be identified in accordance with the nominating and corporate governance committee’s charter and our Corporate Governance Guidelines:

•	Ethics. The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks director nominees who are persons of good reputation and character who conduct themselves in accordance with high personal and professional ethical standards, including the policies set forth in the Company’s Code of Ethics.

•	Conflicts of Interest. Each director or director nominee should not, by reason of any other position, activity or relationship, be subject to any conflict of interest that would impair the director or director nominee’s ability to fulfill the responsibilities of a member of the Board.

•

Independence. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider whether directors and director nominees will be considered independent under the standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and the heightened independence standards for audit committees and compensation committee under the securities laws.

•

Business and Professional Activities. Directors and director nominees should maintain a professional life active enough to keep them in contact with the markets and/or the industry in which the Company is active. A significant position or title change will be seen as reason to review a director’s membership on the Board.

•

Experience, Qualifications and Skills. Directors and director nominees should have the educational background, experience, qualifications and skills relevant for effective management and oversight of the Company’s management, which may include experience at senior executive levels in comparable companies, public service, professional service firms, or educational institutions.

•

Time/Participation. Directors and director nominees should have the time and willingness to carry out their duties and responsibilities effectively, including time to study informational and background materials and to prepare for meetings. Directors should attempt to arrange their schedules to allow them to attend all scheduled Board and committee meetings. The Board will consider the participation of and contributions to the activities of the Board for any director recommended for re-nomination.

•	Board Evaluation. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the results of the annual Board evaluation in its Board refreshment strategy.

•

Overboarding. No director or director nominee may serve on more than four public company boards (including the Company’s Board). No director or director nominee that is an executive officer of a public company may serve on more than two public company boards (including the Company’s Board). No member of the audit committee may serve simultaneously on the audit committee of more than three public companies (including the Company’s audit committee). Accepting a directorship with another public company that the director did not hold when elected or appointed to the Board will be seen as a reason to review a director’s membership on the Board.

•	Diversity. The Board and nominating and corporate governance committee believe that diversity, including gender, race, ethnicity and United States military service, brings a diversity of viewpoints to the Board that is important to the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight of the Company.

•	Tenure/Retirement. The Board and nominating and corporate governance committee do not believe that there should be a fixed term or retirement age for directors, but will consider each director’s tenure and the average tenure of the Board.
