Subject: Vegano Foods Inc. - News Release for Dissemination Word Document File: '\\swfile\EmailIn\20230828 150901 Attachment News Release (Biweekly Default Status) (00032651-2x10671B).docx' 4545122.mcto010.docx {00032651:2} 4545122.mcto010.docx VEGANO PROVIDES BI-WEEKLY DEFAULT STATUS REPORT Vancouver, B.C., Canada - August 28, 2023. Vegano Foods Inc. (CSE: VAGN) (OTCQB: VAGNF) ("Vegano" or the "Company") is providing this bi-weekly default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). On August 1, 2023, the Company announced that the filing of its annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the year ended March 31, 2023, and the related CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "Annual Filings") would not be filed by the prescribed deadline of July 31, 2023. On August 1, 2023, the British Columbia Securities Commission, as principal regulator, granted a voluntary management cease trade order (the "MCTO"). The Company requires additional time to file the Annual Filings due to a change of the Company's auditor. The Company has appointed MNP LLP to audit the annual financial statements for the year-ended March 31, 2023 and to act as auditor until the next annual general meeting of the Company's shareholders. As a result, the Company concluded that it would not be in a position to complete the year-end audit within the time periods required by National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. On August 1, 2023, the Company filed a Notice of Change of Auditor regarding the resignation of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP as the Company's auditor, effective as of September 29, 2022, and the appointment of MNP LLP as the Company's auditor, effective as of July 29, 2023, as well as a successor auditor letter from MNP LLP. In a follow up to the Company's bi-weekly status update of August 14, 2023, the Company currently anticipates filing the Annual Filings as soon as they are available, but in any event no later than September 29, 2023, and will issue a news release once they have been filed. Pursuant to NP 12-203, the Company must file bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further news releases during the period of the MCTO. The Company reports that it is working diligently with its auditors to complete the audit in a timely manner and since its news release of August 1, 2023, there have been no material changes regarding the information contained in that news release. The Company confirms there have been no failures by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203, and there has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default announced in the Company's news release of August 1, 2023. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this news release.
