        <footnote id="F1">These shares are issued at a deemed price of $0.25 in consideration for the execution of a subscription agreement for the purchase of the Series E Preferred Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, after November 23, 2023, at the option of The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;), into that number of units of the Company (each, a &quot;Unit&quot;) determined by dividing the stated value ($1.00 per share) of such share by $0.25. Each Unit will consist of one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant with each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.3125 for three years following conversion. A holder may, at its option, after January 31, 2023, convert all, but no less than all, of shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder into that number of Units determined by dividing the stated value of such shares by $0.25. Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock will also automatically convert, upon the occurrence of a certain fundamental transaction, into that number of Units determined by dividing the stated value of such share by $0.25.</footnote>
