Dear Stephen Kadenacy,

We are delighted to extend this offer of employment for the position of Chief Financial Officer with Black Rifle Coffee Company. Please review this summary of the terms and conditions for your anticipated employment with us. If you choose to accept this offer, your start date will be September 18, 2023 or another mutually agreed upon date. This offer of employment is contingent upon a satisfactory background and reference check, and appointment as an officer by our Board of Directors,
which is expected concurrently with your acceptance of this offer.

Please find below the terms and conditions of your employment, should you accept this offer letter:

Position. Your title will be Chief Financial Officer and you will report directly to the CEO. This is a Full-Time, exempt
position. While you are employed at this Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting, or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company or in any instance, without
written consent from the Board of Directors. By signing this letter of agreement, you confirm that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company.

Best Effort & Independence. By signing this agreement, you confirm that you do not have any position of fiduciary
responsibility with any entity holding interests in the Company or its affiliates and will not do so during the course of his employment. You further agree to apply substantially all of your professional time (>40 hours a week) to this CFO position.

Work Location. Your work location will be Austin, Texas. The company will reimburse travel expenses on an after-tax basis
commensurate with BRC’s Executive travel policies to accommodate frequent travel to the company’s HQ in Salt Lake City, UT.

Cash Compensation. The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of $475,000 per year, payable in accordance with
the Company’s standard payroll schedule, beginning September 18, 2023. This salary will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employee compensation policies in effect from time to time.

Annual Incentive Plan (AIP). You will be eligible to participate in Black Rifle Coffee Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) as modified by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee'') from time-to-time in its sole
discretion and business judgment. Your initial target bonus is 75% of your base salary with a maximum attainment of 150%. Your actual bonus under the AIP for a particular year will be determined by the Company’s attainment of certain financial and other metrics and your individual performance (as determined by the Committee). You will be eligible to participate in the AIP program starting with the FY2023 AIP program. The annual bonus for 2023 will be prorated to reflect your start date of
September 25, 2023, and in accordance with pre-approved '23 AIP thresholds approved by and at the discretion of the
compensation committee. Generally, to be eligible to receive a payout under the AIP you must remain employed through the date upon which the applicable bonus is paid.

Equity Compensation. You will be eligible to participate in BRC’s 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “OIP”) Incentive Plan.
Currently the Compensation Committee anticipates providing an annual grant pursuant to the OIP targeted at a $1,500,000
grant-date fair value. However, in recognition of the confidence we have in you to create value, the Board of Directors has
agreed to make a significant Initial Grant to you at your start date which is intended to reflect the grants you otherwise would have received during the first two years of your employment. As such, in connection with your appointment, and subject to approval by the Committee, you will receive an equity grant valued at $3,000,000 (value based upon BRC’s relevant accounting assumptions) and will be comprised of $2,250,000 (75%) in stock options, and $750,000 (25%) in Restricted Stock Units
(“RSUs”), in each case, measured at the grant date fair value. The initial grant will vest in equal installments on each of the first three years following grant. The portion of the Initial Grant that is stock options will have a seven-year term and an exercise
price equal to the closing price of BRC’s Class A Common Stock on the date of the grant. The Initial Grant will be made as soon

as practicable following your start date and be subject to the terms of the Plan and BRC’s standard form award agreements.
Given this outsized initial grant, you will not be eligible for annual LTIP grants in the first two subsequent years of employment. Eligibility for annual grants is anticipated to resume two years from the first day of employment.

Severance Benefits. In accordance with, and subject to the terms of, an Executive Severance Agreement to be executed among you and the Company; upon termination without cause, subject to execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenants, you will be entitled to receive cash severance equal to 12 months’ base salary and COBRA reimbursement.

Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-
sponsored benefits. In addition, as an Executive you will be entitled to unlimited PTO (paid time off). The Company offers a comprehensive employee benefits program, including but not limited to:

Health
Vision
Dental
401(k)

On the 1st of the month following your date of hire, you will be entitled to participate in the Company’s medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and other offered benefits.

Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the
Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are superseded by this letter agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term, other than as detailed in the
aforementioned executive severance agreement between you and the Company. Although your job duties, title, compensation, and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at-will” nature
of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you).

Termination. The Company reserves the right to terminate the employment of any employee for just cause at any time without notice and without payment in lieu of notice. The Company will be entitled to terminate your employment for any reason other than for just cause, upon providing to you such minimum notice as required by law.

Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. Like all Company employees, you may be required, as a condition of your employment with the Company, to sign the Company’s standard Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement.

Privacy. You are required to observe and uphold all of the Company’s privacy policies and procedures as implemented or varied from time to time. Collection, storage, access to, and dissemination of employee personal information will be in
accordance with privacy legislation.

Tax Matters.

Withholding. All forms of compensation referred to in this letter agreement are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law.

Tax Advice. You are encouraged to obtain your own tax advice regarding your compensation from the Company. You agree
that the Company does not have a duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors related to tax liabilities arising from your compensation.
