VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (“Organto” or “the Company”), (TSXV:OGO)(OTCQX:OGOFF)(FSE:OGF0), a leading provider of organic and fairtrade fruit and vegetable products, today announced key milestones underscoring its transformation into a stronger, more disciplined and growth-ready organization. Following a 21-month restructuring, the Company has streamlined operations and strengthened both its balance sheet and financial performance, positioning it for sustained, profitable expansion.

“Organto today is fundamentally sounder and better positioned for scalable growth,” said Steve Bromley, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Chair of Organto. “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 asset-efficient model, with plans to broaden our product portfolio and create long-term value for shareholders.”

Transformation Milestones and Momentum
Following a comprehensive 21-month restructuring, Organto has repositioned itself for scalable, sustainable growth:

• Strong performance: YTD Q3 2025 sales of $45.9M, up 222% year-over-year and cash operating costs as a percentage of sales reduced to 7.3% from 13.4% in the prior year, with adjusted EBITDA performance improvement year-over-year, realizing the Company’s first ever positive EBITDA quarter in Q1 2025.

• Integrated operations: Organto’s operations have been fully integrated, managing sourcing, logistics, quality control, certification and retail execution across key European markets.

• Asset-efficient model: Scalable supply chain connecting certified organic growers to leading retailers year-round, optimizing cost, speed, and sustainability across markets, and positioning for further optimization of digitally connected technologies.

• Strengthened balance sheet: Eliminated all convertible debt, improved liquidity, established new financing and foreign exchange facilities with a premier bank with deep roots in the agricultural and food sectors and established a leaner, greener and asset-efficient operating model.

• Expanded retail relationships: Serving a growing network of leading European grocers under branded, private-label, and direct-distribution programs with recurring annual commitments.

• Foundation for growth: Positioned to expand fresh product categories, evaluate market entry into North America and entry into adjacent value-added ingredient and consumer product segments.

A Refreshed Brand for a Reinvigorated Vision
To mark this new chapter the Company is today launching its modernized brand image – including an updated logo, visual system and digital presence. The move reflects the Company’s evolution into an integrated global ecosystem and aligns its visual identity with its operational structure and long-term vision, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in transparent and responsible food systems.

The Company’s guiding principles, represented by the three symbolic leaves in its new logo, reflect the foundation of this ecosystem:

• Healthy: Providing nutritious, responsibly sourced foods that meet growing consumer demand.

• Value-Driven: Creating opportunity and shared value for growers, partners, customers, team members and shareholders.

• Sustainable: Embedding transparency, traceability, and ethical practices across every stage of its operations.

“These three principles guide what we do, from how we source and operate to how we work and grow with our partners,” added Steve Bromley. “They lead our actions with the goal of ensuring that as we scale, profitability and purpose stay aligned across our global network.”

An Integrated Global Ecosystem
At the heart of Organto’s renewed strategy is a clear purpose: to make healthy, sustainable foods reliably available through a responsible, connected global network.

Guided by this mission, Organto operates as an integrated ecosystem connecting sustainable growers, partners and retailers through an asset-efficient supply chain. By combining global sourcing, logistics and in-market retail execution, Organto transforms traditionally fragmented value chains into a coordinated farm-to-shelf system, delivering year-round availability, full traceability and scalable efficiency.

“Our integrated ecosystem connects key part of the supply chain – from grower to retailer – allowing us to minimize waste, improve efficiency and create shared value for each of our partners,” commented Steve Bromley. “Together, we are championing a smarter, more sustainable way to bring organic foods to the world.”

Built On Transparency, Trust, And Responsible Growth
Organto’s success is underpinned by a disciplined operating culture, strong governance, and a commitment to transparency at every level of its business.

• Governance and Leadership: Led by a seasoned management team with decades of experience in global food systems, finance, and organics, Organto is structured for accountability and performance. A streamlined governance model ensures clear oversight, data-driven decision-making and disciplined capital allocation.

• Product Integrity: Organto’s products meet rigorous global standards, including Organic, Fairtrade, Global G.A.P., and other certifications.

• Transparency and Traceability: Products are tracked from field to shelf through SKU-level audit trails, offering visibility into product origin, quality, and environmental impact.

• Sustainability Commitment: Organto embeds sustainability and ethical sourcing into its business model – supporting fairtrade practices and living wages across its growing regions. By minimizing waste, optimizing transport and embracing data-driven efficiencies, Organto aligns performance with environmental stewardship.

• Year-Round Supply and Scale: Through its “follow-the-sun” sourcing network and strategically located entry ports and distribution hubs, Organto targets to provide consistent year-round availability of high-demand categories.

• Established Customer Base: Organto serves a growing network of leading retail and distribution partners across Europe, including several of the continent’s largest grocery chains.

Positioned For Continued Growth
Backed by a lean, asset-efficient model and strong category expertise, Organto is well positioned to capitalize on accelerating demand for organic and fairtrade foods. The global organic food and beverage market is projected to reach around US $1 trillion by 2034¹, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 13.7% from 2025 to 2034¹, driven by increasing consumer awareness, retailer sustainability commitments and regulatory support for traceable food systems.

Even amid broader industry headwinds, including inflationary pressures, supply chain consolidation and tightening ESG standards, Organto’s integrated model delivers stability, visibility and scalability.

Organto’s refreshed brand and strengthened foundation mark a pivotal moment for the Company as it advances its strategy for sustainable, profitable growth. With a fortified balance sheet, scalable infrastructure and expanding retail relationships, Organto is advancing a disciplined strategy for sustainable growth – extending its leadership in Europe while evaluating opportunities in North America and adjacent value-added categories.

Optimizes Capital Structure and Financial Flexibility

VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V:OGO)(OTCQX:OGOFF)(FSE:OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced prepayment of all outstanding 10% convertible notes totaling CDN $2,340,850, as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its capital structure and position for anticipated growth.

As previously announced on October 24, 2025, the Company provided 30 days’ notice to holders of the convertible notes of its intention to prepay the outstanding notes, including all interest accrued through November 24, 2025. During the notice period, debenture holders had the option to convert their notes at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share; however, 100% of holders elected to receive a cash payment in lieu of conversion. As a result, the Company has repaid principal of CDN $2,340,850 plus accrued interest of $206,829 to note holders.

The prepaid convertible notes were originally scheduled to mature in tranches through March 2027, with $922,000 due in December 2025 and $148,000 due in February 2026, followed by additional maturities in December 2026, February 2027, and March 2027. These debentures were convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share and could have been force-converted if the Company’s stock traded at or above $0.90 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

“The proactive prepayment of these convertible notes is a key part of our broader financing strategy,” said Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and CEO of Organto Foods Inc. “By removing the potential dilution and debt service costs related to these convertible securities, we believe we are positioning our business for greater flexibility and improved cash flow as we execute on plans to continue to advance our global organic and fairtrade foods platform. This action reflects our confidence in our business, our commitment to sustainable growth, and our focus on the creation of long-term shareholder value.”

Nine-Month Period Ended June 30, 2025

• EBITDA⁽¹⁾ (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $(0.9) million, reflecting improved operating results offset by the impact of losses on derivatives used to manage currency risk.

• Short-term loans and convertible debentures reduced to $2.5 million versus $12.5 million at December 31, 2024.

“We believe our results for the third quarter are a solid reflection of the strong momentum and financial strength we are building in our business. These results are the outcome of the extensive restructuring and business realignment we’ve executed over the past 21 months, which we believe sets a solid foundation for sustained growth, stability, and a clear path to profitability. The combination of our growing business, which continues to deliver, and our strengthened financial position, leads to our optimism as we continue to build a world-class company serving growing healthy foods markets and in doing so creating lasting value for our partners, customers, team members and shareholders”, commented Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and Chief Executive Officer.

Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results Overview

• Sales of $15.1 million versus $5.2 million in the prior year, an increase of approximately 189%.

• Cash operating expenses of $1.3 million or 8.7% of sales versus $0.9 million or 18.2% of sales in the prior year. Operating expenses have stabilized following the sale of three subsidiaries in Q-2 2024, and reflect incremental costs to support the growth of our business and costs related to our rebranding initiatives.

• Loss from operations of $0.4 million versus a loss of $0.5 million in the prior year.

• Net loss for the period of $2.0 million after accounting for interest and accretion costs of $0.1 million and net losses on derivatives totaling $0.4 million. Net loss also includes a number of non-recurring costs including debt restructuring costs of $0.1 million and losses on the settlement of debt of $1.7 million. Adjusted for non-recurring costs, adjusted net income was $0.2 million versus a net loss in the prior year of $0.8 million.

Operating expenses have stabilized following the sale of three subsidiaries in Q-2 2024, though have increased due to the assumption of operating expenses that were previously borne by the subsidiaries sold, as well as incremental costs to support the growth of our business.

• Loss from operations of $0.6 million versus a loss of $1.1 million in the prior year.

• Net loss for the period of $9.6 million after accounting for interest and accretion costs of $0.6 million and net losses on derivatives of $2.3 million. Net loss also includes a number of non-recurring costs including debt restructuring costs of $0.8 million and losses on the settlement of debt of $5.5 million. Net loss in the prior year was $0.3 million, driven by a gain from the dissolution of one of our subsidiaries of $0.4 million and income related to the sale of three operating subsidiaries of $1.2 million, offset by losses related to continuing operations.

(1) The information presented herein refers to the non-IFRS financial measures of adjusted gross profit and EBITDA. We hedge currencies for certain product categories where either the supply or sales commitments are fixed in foreign currencies. The gains and losses from these hedging activities are combined with gross profit to determine adjusted gross profit. We also refer to EBITDA, which is Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These two measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective and thus highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of the Company. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts.

In particular, and without limitation, this news release contains forward-looking statements respecting the upgrade from the OTCQB trading platform to the OTCQX trading platform and the potential increased liquidity this marketplace may provide; the Company’s belief that it has made significant progress in recent months in restructuring its operations and enhancing its financial position, strengthening its disclosure and governance practices, and repositioning its platform for exciting future growth; and the Company’s belief that this U.S. upgrade, combined with its TSX-V and FSE trading, positions the Company to expand its investor base, enhance liquidity, and accelerate execution of its growth strategy in the healthy foods sector. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including, without limitation, the assumption that trading on the OTCQX will enhance visibility and potentially increase liquidity, and the assumption that all applicable regulatory and/or other requisite approvals, if required, will be obtained in a timely manner and on acceptable terms. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements in this news release include, among others, regulatory risks including related to market volatility and economic conditions; risks related to unforeseen delays; and risks that necessary financing will be unavailable when needed.
