"On behalf of the entire Organto team, we want to thank Alejandro for his many contributions to Organto and wish him sincerest best wishes with his future endeavours," said Steve Bromley, chair and co-chief executive officer of the company.

Mr. Hagen is a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience building, scaling and operating businesses across the food, beverage and fresh produce industries, with a passion and focus on sustainable business platforms.

During his tenure at SunOpta, Mr. Hagen held a number of positions focused on developing and transforming operating platforms to meet the growing needs of the global natural and organic food industry, most recently serving as chief customer officer.

Before joining SunOpta, Mr. Hagen spent over 10 years in the fresh organic produce industry, building brands and developing global supply chains in more than 15 countries for Robinson Fresh, Newman's Own Organics, Cape Organics and Pavich Farms. Mr. Hagen holds a bachelor of science degree in agricultural business from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Calif.

"We are very pleased to have Chad join our board at this exciting time in our company's history. His passion for organic and sustainable foods, combined with deep business building, integration, commercial development and operating experience, will be invaluable as we continue to accelerate our growth plans," commented Mr. Bromley. "Over the past almost two years, we've repositioned and streamlined our business, strengthened our financial foundation, and demonstrated our ability to grow both quickly and responsibly. With disciplined execution and a clear strategy, we're advancing our integrated capital-efficient business model, with plans to broaden our product portfolio and geographic footprint, leading to creation of long-term value for shareholders."

With the resignation of Mr. Maldonado and the appointment of Mr. Hagen, the company's board of directors remains composed of six directors, four of whom are independent and two of whom are not, by virtue of being an officer and consultant, respectively, of the company.
