Plant&Co(TM) Enters the Snack Food Category via Majority Acquisition of LumberHeads Food Co.

04 January 2022

Plant&Co. Brands Ltd. (CSE: VEGN) (FSE: VGP) (OTCQB: VGANF) ("Plant&Co" or the "Company"), a modern health and wellness company curating delicious plant-based foods, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a majority interest in LumberHeads Food Co., a boutique plant-based snack food manufacturer based in Milton, Ontario. The two parties have created a joint venture company that will accelerate revenue of LumberHeads' Plant-Based Kettle Corn snack foods line by leveraging Plant&Co's management, branding expertise and its distribution network.

"With this majority interest in LumberHeads Food Co., we are adding immediate revenue as well as taking a milestone step into expanding Plant&Co's family of brands into the snack food category. We plan to quickly expand distribution, first in Ontario then throughout the rest of Canada," said Shawn Moniz, CEO of Plant&Co. "We are confident of the continued growth of our company organically and through accretive acquisitions such as LumberHeads. We made a commitment in September to execute on an organic and inorganic growth strategy, LumberHeads is an example of that strategy unfolding. This is the first of many brands to be welcomed into Plant&Co's portfolio as we continue to execute the companies 2022 roadmap."

The LumberHeads team has developed an incredible plant-based Kettle Corn, plus they have built a reputation for quality, which has created a small community of buyers that has helped LumberHeads to profitably grow. LumberHeads has been operating profitably (unaudited) for the past two years. This mutually beneficial agreement provides LumberHeads with the resources and experience to accelerate growth while Plant&Co acquires a 51% majority interest in a non-dilutive agreement (for a $75,000 CDN shareholder loan). The transaction is expected to close on February 1, 2022.

The snack food segment includes sweet, savory, and salty snacks such as potato chips, cookies, and crackers as well as tortilla chips, flips, and pretzels. The opportunity for Plant&Co is significant; the category in 2021 was valued at approximately $3.9 billion[1] and converting buyers to plant-based snacking will be a key driver of Plant&Co's revenue.
