Prosnack's innovative "Elevate Me™" brand focuses on lifestyle and healthy meal replacement products that include energy bars

retail stores including major retailers such as Costco, Whole Foods, Choices, Save On Foods, Sobeys, London Drugs, Thrifty's,
Rexall and many more. A unique feature of Prosnack is its ongoing success strategy of private labelling for major retailers in

clients is almost $8,000,000 CDN in sales over the past four years.

Naturally Splendid CEO Mr. Dave Eto stated: "Our new relationship with Prosnack and its founders, Alan Maddox and Jim Pratt,
continues our strategy to gain market share in the 'healthy food sector' retail markets. Not only will synergies benefit Naturally
Splendid with enhanced and effective operating costs, leverage distribution and innovative products, but Alan's relationships with
retailers and co-packers and his business acumen strengthens both companies Canadian and US marketing and branding
capabilities."
Upon completion of the acquisition, Alan Maddox is expected to become Executive VP, Sales and Marketing for Naturally Splendid.
Alan has built a successful career in the food industry spanning over 34 years. In addition to developing sales for Prosnack, Alan
held the position of Director of International Sales for McCain Foods where he was responsible for overseeing sales development in
over 70 countries around the world. As President of Sepp's Food Group in the early 1990's he was instrumental in developing the
company into one of the leading natural organic frozen breakfast food manufacturers in North America, growing sales from $1,000,000
CDN to over $88,000,000 CDN annually.
Mr. Maddox stated, "This is an excellent environment for me to leverage my experience and contacts to combine distribution
channels and move Elevate Me™ and products of Naturally Splendid to the next level — to be quicker and stronger throughout Canada,
USA and internationally. With the fine brands of Prosnack complimenting the family of high quality products of NSE, I am very
pleased to be part of the Naturally Splendid Family."
Upon closing, Jim Pratt is expected to join Naturally Splendid's Advisory Board. Naturally Splendid expects that his experience
gained as a former investment banker on Bay Street in Toronto, and having directly overseen 15 acquisitions and divestitures with
Sepp's Food Group while serving as CFO and CEO, will be of great benefit. Mr. Pratt's continuing involvement with the BC Food
Processors Association as Chair establishes his credentials as a food sector leader and provides Naturally Splendid with additional
insights into evolving markets and opportunities.
Mr. Pratt stated, "I'm excited to join Naturally Splendid in an advisory role. The Prosnack Natural Foods suite of products
will add to the exciting story that NSE is developing in the consumer product and healthy food markets and I look forward to being
part of that story."
