Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 14, 2020) – Plant & Co. Brands Ltd. (CSE: VEGN) (FSE: 3CMB) (OTC Pink: EURPF) (“Plant & Co.” or the “Company“), a vertically integrated enterprise focused on the health and wellness sector, is pleased to announce that it has closed its over-subscribed non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement“) raising gross proceeds of $4,200,500 through the issuance of 21,002,500 units (the “Units“) at $0.20 per Unit.

Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Share“) and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“) with each Warrant exercisable into Shares of the Company at a price of $0.25 per Share for two (2) years from the date of closing of the Private Placement.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for merger and acquisition activities and opportunities in the plant-based food market and general working capital. With the global population growing rapidly, so is the demand for animal-protein alternatives, meat replacements and other non-animal plant-based industrial ingredients. Driven by consumers concerned with health, wellness and the global environment, there has been considerable cultural, health and environmental changes to create very favourable market conditions for the rise of plant-based protein.
