BOOSH PLANT-BASED BRANDS PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE ON REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND U.S. REVENUE MILESTONES

Vancouver, British Columbia - May 5, 2026 - Boosh Plant-Based Brands Inc. (CSE: VEGI) ("Boosh" or the "Company"), a premier plant-based brand in the "better-for-you" food sector, is pleased to provide the following corporate update regarding its path to regulatory compliance and recent commercial developments in the United States.

Regulatory Update and Financial Filings

The Company is working actively to revoke the Cease Trade Order (CTO) issued following the late filing of its 2023 financial statements. To expedite this process, Boosh has engaged the accounting firm Lancaster & David to perform comprehensive pre-audit financial work.

Management intends to file outstanding financial statements for the fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026 concurrently. In addition to these filings, the Company is diligently negotiating debt settlements and completing all necessary corporate governance requirements. The primary objective of the Board and Management remains the restoration of share trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) as soon as regulatory requirements are met.

U.S. Expansion and Revenue Milestones

The Company's U.S. licensee, Tahoe Nutrition LLC, has officially commenced sales of "Boosh Better for You" snacks through a Summer program integrated into the U.S. National School's Healthy Food Initiative providing schools and community organizations with nutritious and ready-to-eat nonperishable meals.

The full lineup of Boosh Snacks include: Roasted Corn Nuggets in BBQ, Cajun and Ranch, Roasted Sunflower Kernels in Salted or Honey, Roasted Chickpeas in Salted or Ranch, Pita Chips in Salted or Cheesy Pizza, Soft bite Cookies in Apple Cinnamon, Cranberry Vanilla and Raspberry Lemon, Vanilla Cinnamon Granola and Honey Cran Trail Mix.

The program, which runs from April 1 to August 31, has so far processed $2.18 million (USD) in orders to date. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Boosh receives a 5% royalty based on the Cost of Goods (COGS).

Boosh CEO Connie Marples states, "Our focus is twofold: restoring our standing with provincial regulators while also capitalizing on the significant volume offered by the U.S. institutional food sector. The initial traction of our snack line within the U.S. school system validates our brand's appeal in the 'better-for-you' category. We are optimistic about this next chapter in our trajectory."

The Company will provide further updates as it achieves key milestones regarding its financial audits and the revocation of the CTO.

On behalf of the Board of Directors
