Subject to Completion Preliminary Prospectus dated July 12, 2021 Securities PROSPECTUS in any state 14,300,000 Shares Class A Common Stock This is Zevia PBC’s initial public offering. We are selling 14,300,000 shares of our Class A common stock. We expect the public offering price to be between $13.00 and $15.00 per share. Currently, no public market exists for the shares. After pricing of the offering, we expect that the shares of our Class A common stock will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ZVIA.” Each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will entitle the holder to one vote. The Class B stockholders will hold 43.8% of the combined voting power of our common stock immediately after this offering. See “Organizational Structure.” We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.” We elected in March 2021 to be treated as a public benefit corporation under Delaware law. As a public benefit corporation, we are required to balance the pecuniary interests of our stockholders with the best interests of those stakeholders materially affected by our conduct, including particularly those affected by the specific benefit purposes set forth in our certificate of incorporation. Accordingly, our duty to balance a variety of interests may result in actions that do not maximize stockholder value. Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 28 of this prospectus.
