Item 8.01 Other Events.

Jones Soda Co. (the “Company”) currently plans to hold its 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2010 Annual Meeting”) on September 23, 2010. Because the date of the 2010 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company is informing its shareholders, pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the following deadlines for shareholder proposals.

Rule 14a-8 Shareholder Proposal Deadline

In order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2010 Annual Meeting, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the proposal must be received, in writing, by the Corporate Secretary, at 234 Ninth Avenue North, Seattle, Washington 98109, no later than August 6, 2010, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it will begin to print and send its proxy materials. Such proposal must comply with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in the Company’s proxy statement.

Timely Notice under Rule 14a-4(c)

If a shareholder wishes to submit a proposal outside of Rule 14a-8, which is not intended to be included in the Company’s proxy statement, in order for such proposal to be considered “timely” for the purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, the proposal must be received at the above address no later than August 6, 2010, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it sends its proxy materials for the 2010 Annual Meeting.
