Company Operations

Plant & Co. is focused on the health and wellness sector in North America. The Company has made four acquisitions in the plant-based food sector over a two year period. These acquisitions establish the foundation to which Plant & Co will grow its operations. With these acquisitions, Plant & Co. has acquired businesses with revenue and the Company will continue to grow this base business organically and by acquiring additional assets that provide synergies to existing assets as well as expand the product base and geographical footprint of the business.

Plant&Co's M&A strategy continues to be one of accretive business acquisitions. With the creation of a new board in June 2021, the wealth of knowledge added to the business with such people as Kevin Cole (20 years building consumers package goods businesses), Alex Rechichi and Mark Rechichi from the CraveIt Restaurant Group (founders of Mucho Burrito, Extreme Pita and other successful business ventures). Plant&Co is well situated to accelerate revenue on our path to profitability. Plant&Co can also improve operations through the development and execution of multiple brand and channel strategies within this same resource pool of the company, including leveraging shared distribution networks within Plant&Co's network.

In addition to the seasoned Board of Director's and Management, Plant& Co. added to its corporate team in the second quarter with the appointment of Sean Black as Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Black is currently the Chief Development Officer of CraveIT Restaurant Group. He oversees brand growth and franchise development of the CraveIT brand portfolio. He has held this position since 2014. In 2021, CraveIT Restaurant Group sold its interest in The Burgers Priest restaurant brand, including its 25 franchised and corporately owned stores, to Recipe Unlimited, a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. From 2013 to 2014, Mr. Black held the executive level position of Chief Development Officer at MTY Food Group

Plant&Co. operations are focused on growing our Quick Service Restaurants ("QSR") and Consumer Packaged Goods ("CPG") businesses. With the two business units, Plant&Co intends to add additional brands and businesses over the balance of 2022 and 2023.

YamChops, specializes in the preparation, distribution, and retail sales of dozens of proprietary plant-based meats, chicken, pork, fish, and various other vegan style food products in both a business-to-business ("B2B") and business-to-consumer ("B2C") revenue models. YamChops is a plant-basedQSR, butcher and marketplace offering protein alternatives, prepared foods, meals and specialty food products. In addition to our current location in Toronto, our products are in over a dozen retail, wholesale, and food service establishments. Over the past 18 months, Yamchops has continued to improve menus and operations to optimize their restaurant offerings, day-to-daydeli counter and CPG operations with the help of Plant&Co management team and Directors. As the COVID19 restrictions ease and the business environment continues to change, the YamChops team has been focused on building sales, improving operations and building distribution via new retailers and food service contracts, all while reducing costs to remain fiscally responsible during these times.

YamChops has a new strategic roadmap to profitability. Efforts to increase store traffic and revenue have been implemented, as we continue to see a return for direct orders. YamChops has increased its marketing campaign on social media platforms, digital food service platforms such as UberEats, and as a result have seen steady sales throughout its operating platforms this quarter. Improved marketing efficiencies will contribute to profitability. Our objective is to expand distribution, evolve product development and introduce new innovative products within YamChops as we continually grow the YamChops brand and business. Our Toronto location has recently re-modelled to add the Heal Wellness (see below) Brand we recently acquired.

Holy Crap Brands is a line of high-fiber,plant-basedsuper-seed cereals and oatmeal's that helps you maintain good gut health. When you have a healthy gut, it impacts your total wellbeing and is proven to help your mental health. Based on this premise, the strategy of this brand is to implement both a B2B as well as a B2C revenue model to reach more consumers and accelerate growth.

Since acquisition in February 2021, Holy Crap Cereals has increased its retail distribution by adding several new retailers to its portfolio, which have contributed to growth, and an increase of retail presence across Canada. In addition, it has also added DSM and Rabba Fine Foods as a broker to further expand its distribution in the Canadian market.

In its B2C execution, Holy Crap has increased sales since acquisition by Plant&Co. As consumers increasingly return to stores with the easing of COVID-19, online sales have pulled back vs record highs however the team continues to improve operations and is back to adding new users month over month. In 2022, Holy Crap will continue to push forward and drive sales revenue and increase its distribution at key retailers and digitally.
