SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP NO. 48023P106

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), and relates to shares of common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), of Jones Soda Co., a Washington corporation (the “Issuer”). The Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect, except as amended by (i) Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person with the SEC on March 28, 2019 (the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”) and (ii) this Amendment No. 2. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following disclosure:

As a result of the negotiation and consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares and the Warrant (as such terms are defined under Item 4 below) by Heavenly RX, Ltd., a British Columbia corporation (the “Separately Filing Group Member”), the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), comprised of the Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Member. The Reporting Person understands that the Separately Filing Group Member will file a statement on Schedule 13D addressing its status as a member of a “group” with the Reporting Person. Schedule A attached hereto sets forth certain information regarding the Separately Filing Group Member as required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following disclosure.

Purchase of Shares and Warrant

On July 11, 2019, the Separately Filing Group Member entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Separately Filing Group Member purchased 15,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) and a warrant to purchase up to an additional 15,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The aggregate purchase price for the Shares and the Warrant was $9,000,000 in cash, which was paid to the Issuer at the closing of the purchase and sale on July 11, 2019 (the “Closing”).

The Warrant is immediately exercisable, has a term of one-year following Closing, and provides the Separately Filing Group Member with the right to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.78 per share, subject to adjustments in the event of certain stock splits, stock dividends or distributions, reorganizations, reclassifications or other similar events. The Warrant shall be automatically exercised upon the occurrence of the following:

(i)	If the Issuer’s closing share price as reported on the OTCQB Marketplace, or its then primary trading market, is equal to or greater than $1.78 for at least five (5) consecutive trading days the Warrant shall be automatically exercised with respect to 25% of the total number of the Warrant Shares;

(ii)

If the Issuer’s closing share price as reported on the OTCQB Marketplace, or its then primary trading market, is equal to or greater than $2.12 for at least five (5) consecutive trading days, the Warrant shall be automatically exercised with respect to an additional 25% of the total number of the Warrant Shares;

(i)

If the Issuer’s closing share price as reported on the OTCQB Marketplace, or its then primary trading market, is equal to or greater than $2.36 for at least five (5) consecutive trading days, the Warrant shall be automatically exercised with respect to an additional 25% of the total number of the Warrant Shares; and

(ii)

If the Issuer’s closing share price as reported on the OTCQB Marketplace, or its then primary trading market, is equal to or greater than $2.60 for at least five (5) consecutive trading days, the Warrant shall be automatically exercised with respect to the remaining 25% of the total number of the Warrant Shares.

If the Separately Filing Group Member fails to pay the exercise price upon the automatic exercise of the Warrant, then the Warrant shall thereafter terminate in its entirety.

Investor Rights Agreement

On July 11, 2019, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Separately Filing Group Member, the Issuer and certain shareholders of the Issuer (the “Shareholders”) entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “IRA”). Pursuant to the IRA, the Issuer and the Shareholders agreed to cause the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) to be set at seven directors. The Separately Filing Group Member has the right to designate two members of the Board (the “Investor Designees”), and the Shareholders have agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the election of the Investor Designees. For so long as any Investor Designees serve on the Board, the Issuer must obtain the approval of the Board, including all of the Investor Designees, before taking certain actions, such as amending the Issuer’s charter documents, offering to sell any new securities, creating any debt security, approving a change of control, changing the strategy or principal lines of business of the Issuer, liquidating or dissolving the Issuer or agreeing to make expenditures in excess of $1,000,000. In addition, in the event that the Issuer proposes to offer any new securities (subject to certain standard exceptions), the Separately Filing Group Member has a right of first offer to purchase such securities. Under the IRA, the Separately Filing Group Member and the Shareholders have agreed for a period of one year following the closing of the transaction that they will not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, subject to certain standard exceptions. In addition, pursuant to the IRA, the Issuer has granted the Separately Filing Group Member certain demand registration rights (after the expiration of the lock-up described in the preceding sentence) and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Member entered into separate Standstill Agreements. Under the Standstill Agreements, the Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Member, on behalf of themselves and each of their respective affiliates, agreed to not acquire, on the open market or otherwise, any loans, debt securities, equity securities, or assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or rights or options to acquire interests in any of the Issuer’s loans, debt securities, equity securities, or assets, except for the purchase of the Shares and the Warrant pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant, or as otherwise provided below. The Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Member also agreed, on behalf of themselves and each of their respective affiliates, to not make any proposal or offer to acquire the Issuer through any business combination, merger, tender offer, exchange offer, or similar transaction, acquire any of the Issuer’s securities or seek representation on the Board (other than the Investor Designees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, as an exception to the restrictions described above, the Separately Filing Group Member shall be permitted to acquire in the open market, from time to time, up to such additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the Warrant Shares that have been purchased upon exercise of the Warrant as of such time, and the Reporting Person shall be permitted to acquire in the open market, from time to time, up to such additional number of shares of Common Stock such that the Reporting Person’s aggregate ownership of Common Stock equals (but does not exceed) 9.99% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock as of such time (on an outstanding basis and not on a fully diluted basis); and the Separately Filing Group Member shall be permitted (as an exception to the restrictions described above) to exercise all of its rights, including its right of first offer, pursuant to the IRA, in full and without restriction. The restrictions set forth in the Standstill Agreements shall terminate and be

of no further force or effect on the earlier to occur of (i) July 11, 2021 and (ii) the date on which the Warrant is exercised in full.
