Naturally Splendid Secures Rights to Plantein Trademark

Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. ("Naturally Splendid") (TSX-V:NSP) (OTC PINK:NSPDF) (Frankfurt:50N) is pleased to announce the Company has come to an agreement with Flexitarian Foods Pty. Ltd. (Flexitarian Foods) for the exclusive use of the Plantein trademark in Canada

The Plantein trademark is owned by Flexitarian Foods, a division of Australia's largest plant-based manufacturer. The popular Plantein brand was first launched in Australia and is now being expanded globally, including the European Union (EU), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and now in Canada.

The term of the Plantein trademark assignment from Flexitarian Foods correlates with the exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement that the Companies signed previously for an extensive line of plant-based, meat alternative products. The Definitive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement executed with Flexitarian Foods to become the exclusive Canadian manufacturer and distributor, as formerly announced on August 17, 2021, is for an initial 10-year term with a 10-year renewable term.

Naturally Splendid initially launched this line of plant-based entrees, under the NATERA brand in Canada. Through strategic discussions with Flexitarian Foods, it's been determined that the opportunity to capitalize on the momentum that the Plantein brand has gained in Australia, provides multiple benefits for both companies including increased exposure for the brand.

Naturally Splendid has launched a website specifically for the Plantein brand that can be found at www.plantein.ca.

Flexitarian Foods Managing Director Mr. Evan Tsioukis states, "We have grown the Plantein brand to be one of Australia's most popular plant-based choices. We are excited to continue expanding our business relationship with Naturally Splendid and will be incorporating many of the same strategies in Canada, that have made the Plantein brand a success in Australia."

The current roster of plant-based entrees that Naturally Splendid will offer is being amended in both SKUs as well as branding. Naturally Splendid will initially stock eight (8) SKUs under the Plantein trademark including a Plant-Based; Burger; Crunchy Burger; Crumbed Tenders; Sweet Chili Tenders; Nuggets; Schnitzel (cutlet); Garlic Kiev; and a Phishy Filet.

These existing SKUs, plus additional plant-based entrees, will be manufactured in Naturally Splendid's existing facility in Pitt Meadows, BC once new manufacturing lines are received and facility upgrades are completed.

As announced in previous news releases, the Company has developed a distribution network covering Canada coast to coast. This network of distributors provides access to thousands of clients across most every distribution channel, including chain and independent retail stores, chain restaurants and individual locations, to which the Plantein brand will be introduced to.

Naturally Splendid CEO Mr. J. Craig Goodwin states: "We are pleased to extend our existing business relationship with Flexitarian Foods to market the Plantein brand here in Canada, building on the growing presence of the Plantein trademark. This latest strategic move to market Plantein in Canada, in addition to being the exclusive manufacturer and distributor, is pivotal for the Company. We look forward to delivering these delicious plant-based offerings to a broad range of foodservice and retail clients through our existing distribution network."
