BranchOut Food ^{Priced, Nasdaq: BOF}

BranchOut is an emerging natural food brand with a licensed technology platform that enables the manufacturing and marketing of plant-based dehydrated foods. BranchOut has licensed rights from an independent third party to a new dehydration technology designed for drying and processing highly sensitive fruits and vegetables such as avocados, bananas and others. In our experience, conventional dehydration methods, such as freeze-drying and air drying, tend to degrade most fruit and vegetables through oxidation, browning/color degradation, nutritional content reduction and/or flavor loss. As a result, certain highly sensitive fruit, such as avocados and bananas, have not previously been successfully offered as a dehydrated base for consumer products. Other dried fruit- and vegetable-based products are on the market but are of low quality. To our knowledge, BranchOut’s licensed technology platform and process is the only way to produce quality avocado- and banana-based snack and powdered products. Additionally, we believe our licensed technology platform produces superior products when using other fruits and vegetables as the base when compared to conventional drying and dehydration technologies. With more than 17 patents registered in 14 countries, BranchOut has been granted the exclusive rights to use the licensed technology platform as applied to avocados, in addition to BranchOut’s own patent pending process, and nonexclusive rights to use the licensed technology platform for other products.
