          based wholesale distributor serving the convenience store industry. As provided in the Contribution Agreement, AMCON and Sledd are to jointly own a limited liability company ("Team Sledd") formed for the purpose of owning and operating Sledd's
          wholesale distribution business. Sledd would contribute substantially all of its assets and stated liabilities to Team Sledd, while AMCON would contribute $10.0 million in cash of which $6.5 million is structured as equity and $3.5 million as a
          secured line of credit to Team Sledd. It is anticipated that AMCON will fund its contribution to Team Sledd from AMCON's revolving credit facility. As a result of the above contributions, Sledd initially would own a majority of the outstanding
          equity of Team Sledd.</div>
        <div style="text-align: justify; margin-bottom: 6pt;">The Contribution Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including indemnification and no-shop provisions.&#160; The closing of the transactions contemplated by the

      <div class="bw-release-body">
        <div class="bw-release-table-js bw-release-story">
          <p>OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 3, 2020--AMCON Distributing Company (&#8220;AMCON&#8221;) (NYSE American: DIT) an Omaha, Nebraska based consumer products company is pleased to announce that it has agreed to make a strategic investment in Team Sledd
            which is headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia. Team Sledd has annual revenues of approximately $600 million and serves the West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware markets. </p>
          <p> Robert Sincavich and Randy Emanuelson, co-owners of Team Sledd, will retain a majority interest in Team Sledd and continue in their roles as President and Vice President, respectively. Team Sledd employees will continue in their current
            capacities guided by the same philosophy and commitment to retail partnership as they have in the past. &#8220;We are delighted to support Rob and Randy with this investment to provide growth capital for the Team Sledd enterprise, said Christopher H.
            Atayan, AMCON&#8217;s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Atayan further noted, &#8220;This strategic investment is designed to benefit both Team Sledd and AMCON customers.&#8221; </p>
          <p> Rob Sincavich, President of Team Sledd, said, &#8220;In this era of consolidation, Team Sledd felt it was important to partner with a respected industry supplier that has the geographic and economic scale to broaden our collective reach and
            capabilities. This partnership helps us create the pre-eminent convenience distributor in both the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. As a distributor serving 26 states with six distribution centers, AMCON brings a
            customer-centric business model, hands-on customer service and support, and a commitment to innovative foodservice growth. AMCON&#8217;s commitment to excellence in operations, logistics, financial reporting, and cash management will provide a
            co-aligned set of capabilities to support the future growth of Team Sledd.&#8221; </p>
          <p> Team Sledd Vice President Randy Emanuelson added, &#8220;This partnership was designed with our customers&#8217; needs in mind. We will maintain our operations as they presently are with the added benefit of enhanced products, flexibility, innovation,
            and services that this partnership brings to our customers. Ultimately, both Team Sledd and AMCON will be in a stronger position to serve both independent and chain retailers over a larger geographic footprint and enhance opportunities to grow
            our collective customer base.&#8221; </p>
          <p> Team Sledd was founded in 1937 and currently serves approximately 1,200 convenience store retailers in seven Mid-Atlantic states out of a 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art warehouse in Wheeling, West Virginia. AMCON currently serves
            approximately 4,100 convenience retailers in 26 states out of six warehouses in the Midwest and Mid-South. </p>
          <p> Andrew C. Plummer, President of AMCON, noted, &#8220;Team Sledd is on the forefront of innovative retail branding and marketing concepts, particularly with respect to its store layout and design services and customer education programs. These
            programs are showcased out of a state-of-the-art 5,000-square-foot Convenience Learning Center which we consider gold standard and are particularly attractive as we look to leverage these resources across our entire distribution network. We
            look forward to the new opportunities this relationship creates, and we are confident that this synergistic approach will prove desirable to other growth-minded wholesalers across the United States.&#8221; </p>
