Better Plant Completes Acquisition of Functional Mushroom Assets

Better Plant Sciences Inc. (CSE:PLNT)(OTCQB:VEGGF)(FRA:YG3) ("Better Plant"), a wellness company that develops and sells sustainable, plant-based products that are better for health and better for the earth, is pleased to announced that on September 10, 2021 it purchased mushroom coffee functional food assets, eCommerce platforms, consumer data and related marketing properties from affiliate NeonMind Biosciences Inc. ("NeonMind Biosciences") for C$645,000 plus a royalty of 3% of net product sales above C$1,000,000 for 25 years

Each of the functional mushroom blends and botanicals included in the purchased coffees include adaptogens, which means that they work with one's body to help manage physical, mental, and emotional stressors. Functional mushroom specifically refers to mushroom varieties that have a health benefit beyond providing nutrition.

The purchase included 4 functional food mushroom coffee products being sold in Canada and 4 mushroom coffee dietary supplement products currently being sold in the U.S. including associated inventory, raw materials and packaging, as well as information and intellectual property associated with 4 applications to Health Canada for Natural Health Numbers, including one which was granted (the " Applications" ), as well as the domain at www.neonmind.com , the Neonmind.com Shopify-enabled websites in Canada and the US, along with all sales and consumer data, and Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest social media properties to support mushroom coffee sales.

The consideration paid by Better Plant to NeonMind Biosciences for the purchased functional food assets was C$645,000 including GST and all other applicable taxes (the " Purchase Price ") plus a royalty of 3% of net product sales payable by Better Plant to NeonMind Biosciences for 25 years, payable on cumulative net product sales of over C$1 million (the " Royalty ").The payment of $645,000 was made by setting off the balance due of C$645,000 on a note owed by NeonMind Biosciences to Better Plant which would have been payable in February 2022.

The purchased mushroom coffee dietary supplements follow all FDA regulations that focus on comprehensive GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) to ensure the identity, purity, quality, strength, and composition of dietary supplements. The products include certified organic mushroom extracts which go through the decoction process (traditional water boiling) to maximize the bioavailability of the product. The products follow strict US pharmacopeia guidelines for lead and other chemicals required by Proposition 65 for safe and daily intake.

The global functional mushroom market was valued at USD $25.4 billion in 2020, and it is estimated to register a compound annual growth rate of 8.44% during the forecast period 2021-2026, according to a report by Mordor Intelligence.

The disposition of the mushroom coffee assets by NeonMind Biosciences will allow it to focus on psychedelic drug development programs, which include the advancement of NEO-001, synthetic psilocybin, to treat obesity into a regulator-approved psychedelic drug product. NeonMind is now well positioned to more efficiently utilize capital to progress as a leading company in the transformative field of interventional psychiatry, with two divisions: 1) a pharmaceutical division focused on psychedelic drug development and 2) a medical services division focused on providing evidence-backed treatments including psychedelics.

With the pharmaceutical division, NeonMind aims to advance NEO-001 through major drug development milestones including a pre-IND meeting with the FDA and a pre-CTA meeting with Health Canada in Q4 2021 for the planned Phase 1/2 study aimed to address deficiencies in chronic weight management. With the medical services division, the company is focused on setting up a specialty clinic network providing interventional psychiatry treatments, including psychedelics, with a target to announce the first location in Q4 2021. Better Plant currently owns 33,231,000 shares in NeonMind Biosciences, which is approximately 26.6% of its outstanding capital. The shares are subject to periodic releases pursuant to an escrow agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin %, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share, and free cash flow. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization; adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and also excludes certain extraordinary items; adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as % of revenue, adjusted net (loss) income as net income (loss) less certain extraordinary items; adjusted EPS as adjusted net (loss) income divided by basic and diluted shares outstanding; and free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results and financial performance. We believe these measures are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and can facilitate comparison to other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be considered as, measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
