NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT

Letter from Our President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Zevia Stockholders:

The 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Zevia PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Zevia” or the “Company”), to be held on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time. This year's Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually. We believe this virtual format will enable stockholder participation from any location.

If you are a stockholder of Zevia common stock (or are a proxy holder) as of the close of business on April 16, 2025, you may participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ZVIA2025 and entering in the 16-digit Control Number included in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”), proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials), or in the instructions you received via email. You may log in beginning at 8:45 a.m. Pacific Time, on Thursday, June 12, 2025.

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote on (i) the election of three Class I directors and (ii) the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” each matter to be considered. Such other business will be transacted as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. Additional details regarding participation in the Annual Meeting, the business to be conducted, and information about Zevia that you should consider when you vote your shares are described in the attached Notice (that you also received by mail) and this Proxy Statement. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote online or by telephone and how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.

We have elected to make our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting available to you via the internet, pursuant to the “notice and access” rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On or about April 30, 2025, we intend to begin sending to our stockholders the Notice containing instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. We encourage you to read the Proxy Statement prior to the Annual Meeting. By making these materials available to you online, we aim to provide our stockholders with easy and convenient access while also reducing our environmental impact of printing hard copies.

It is important that your shares be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit your proxy as soon as possible.

On behalf of management and our Board of Directors, we thank you for your continued support of Zevia.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Amy E. Taylor
