Reyes Beverage Group’s own May 29, 2026 press release explicitly states that at the end of business that day it "will have officially closed" its acquisition of RNDC’s operations in 11 named markets, satisfying the requirement for a public corporate confirmation of closing and operational handoff for the first wave of states before 23:59 ET on May 31, 2026. This is corroborated by multiple industry trade sources summarizing the deal as closed.

The Reyes Beverage Group acquisition of Republic National Distributing Company assets is the largest distribution-tier consolidation event of 2026. RNDC CEO Marc Sachs publicly indicated in a March 2026 internal memo that the deal was expected to close in May 2026. A clean on-time close versus a delay is a meaningful read on regulatory, operational, and integration risk for the combined entity.

Resolves YES if Reyes Beverage Group and/or Republic National Distributing Company publicly confirm via press release, official statement to industry trade press, or Reyes corporate communications that the acquisition transaction has closed (with operational handoff and asset transfer completed for at least the first wave of states named in the deal scope), before 23:59 ET on May 31, 2026.
