Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” for more information.

Changing your vote

You may revoke a vote you made by proxy by:

• voting again on the internet before 11:00 a.m. (PST) on June 25, 2021;

• completing a proxy form that is dated later than the proxy form you are changing and mailing it to Computershare so that it is received at the address indicated before 11:00 a.m. (PST) on June 25, 2021;

• making a request in writing to the Chair of the Meeting, at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, before any vote in respect of which the proxy has been given or taken. The written request can be from you or your authorized attorney; or

• logging in to the virtual Meeting and accepting the terms and conditions.

How to vote – Non-Registered (or Beneficial) Shareholders

You are a non-registered (or beneficial) Shareholder (a “Non-Registered Holder”) if your Common Shares are registered either:

(a) in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans (each an “Intermediary”) that represents the Non-Registered Holder in respect of its Common Shares; or

(b) in the name of a depository (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

We have distributed copies of the Notice, the Circular, the form of proxy, and the supplemental mailing return list card (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) directly to non-objecting Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive such materials. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will receive a package from their Intermediary containing either:

(a) a voting instruction form that must be properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary in accordance with the instructions on the voting instruction form; or, less typically,

- 4 -

(b) a form of proxy that has already been stamped or signed by the Intermediary that is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which otherwise has not been completed. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Computershare at the address set forth in the Meeting Notice.

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of Common Shares that they beneficially own. The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Meeting Materials to objecting beneficial owners.

A Non-Registered Holder may revoke a voting instruction form or proxy which has been given to an Intermediary by written notice to the Intermediary or by submitting a voting instruction form or proxy bearing a later date in accordance with the applicable instructions. In order to ensure that an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.

Completing the proxy form

You can choose to vote “For”, “Against” or “Withhold”, depending on the items listed on the proxy form.

When you sign the proxy form, you authorize the directors and officers of the Company who are named in the proxy form to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting according to your instructions, unless you have appointed someone else to act as your proxy. If you return your proxy form and do not tell us how you want to vote your Common Shares, your vote will be counted:

• FOR setting the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at five (5);

• FOR electing the nominee directors who are listed in the Circular;

• FOR appointing KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as auditors of the Company; and

• FOR approval of the stock option plan of the Company (the “Option Plan”).

If you are appointing someone else to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting, write the name of the person voting for you in the space provided. If you do not specify how you want your Common Shares voted, your proxyholder will vote your Common Shares as the individual sees fit on each item and on any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting.

If you are a Shareholder who wishes to appoint a third party proxyholder, you must also register your proxyholder as an additional step once you have submitted your proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a username to participate in the Meeting. To register a proxyholder, Shareholders must visit http://www.computershare.com/VeryGoodFood by June 25, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. (PST) and provide Computershare with their proxyholder’s contact information, so that Computershare may provide the proxyholder with a username via email. Without a username, proxyholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

If you are an individual Shareholder, you or your authorized attorney must sign the form. If you are a corporation or other legal entity, an authorized officer or attorney must sign the form.

The maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance under outstanding Options is 10% of the then outstanding Common Shares. The Option Plan was amended effective March 17, 2021 in order to comply with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) in connection with Very Good’s graduation to the TSXV. Pursuant to TSXV Policy 4.4, Incentive Stock Options (the “TSXV Policy”) of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual, the Company is permitted to maintain a rolling stock option plan reserving a percentage of the issued and outstanding Common Shares for issuance pursuant to Options. In accordance with the TSXV Policy, rolling option stock plans must receive Shareholder approval yearly at an annual meeting. The Company is not proposing any changes to the existing Option Plan and Shareholder approval is being sought at the Meeting

- 11 -

only to comply with the TSXV Policy. As of the date of this Circular, there are 8,253,472 Options outstanding under the Option Plan.

Under the Option Plan, Options will be exercisable over periods of up to 10 years as determined by the Board and are required to have an exercise price no less than the closing market price of the Common Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the day on which the Company announces the grant of Options (or, if the grant is not announced, the date specified in an option agreement as the date on which the Option is granted), less the applicable discount, if any, permitted by the policies of the TSXV and approved by the Board. If an Option is granted during a blackout period (as such term is defined in the Option Plan), the exercise price will not be less than the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSXV for the five trading days immediately preceding the grant.

Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Board may from time to time authorize the issue of Options to directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, the number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one individual may not exceed (without the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval) 5% of the issued Common Shares on a yearly basis or 2% if the optionee is engaged in investor relations activities or is a consultant. The Option Plan permits the Board to specify a vesting schedule in its discretion, subject to the TSXV’s minimum vesting requirements, if any.

The Option Plan contains adjustment provisions with respect to outstanding Options in cases of Common Share consolidations, dividends, take-over bids, change of control transactions or applications for listing on a stock exchange other than the TSXV.

The Option Plan provides that on the death of an Option holder, all vested Options will expire 12 months after the date of death or such shorter period as is remaining in the term of the Options. All unvested Options expire as of the date of the Option holder’s death.

Where an optionee is terminated for cause, any outstanding Options (whether vested or unvested) are cancelled as of the date of termination. If an optionee retires or voluntarily resigns or is otherwise terminated by the Company other than for cause, the optionee has the right to exercise any outstanding vested Options within a period of 90 days after the termination date, or such shorter period as is remaining in the term of the Options or may be set out in the optionee’s written agreement, following which time any unexercised vested Options shall expire and terminate immediately, and no amount shall be payable to the optionee.

The Board has the power to make the following types of amendments to the Option Plan or any Options issued thereunder without seeking Shareholder approval:

• amendments of a “housekeeping” or administrative nature, including any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the Option Plan or to correct or supplement any provision of the Option Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of Option Plan, including amendments to fix typographical errors;

• amendments to clarify existing provisions of the Option Plan that do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions;

• amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules of the TSXV);

- 12 -

• amendments to the vesting provisions of Option Plan or any Option;

• amendments to the termination or early termination provisions of Option Plan or any Option provided such amendment does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date of an Option; and

• amendments necessary to suspend or terminate Option Plan.

Shareholder approval (in accordance with the rules of the TSXV) will be required for the following types of amendments:

• any amendment to increase the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan, other than pursuant to appropriate adjustments to reflect and take into account any unusual or non-recurring transaction that affects the Common Shares, including a reorganization, stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar corporate transaction or event;

• any amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Option issued to an Insider (as such term is defined in the Option Plan), in which case, disinterested security holder approval must be obtained;

• any amendment to the method for determining the exercise price of an Option;

• any amendment to expand the categories of Eligible Persons (as such term is defined in the Option Plan) to whom options may be granted under the Option Plan;

• any amendment to revise the limitation under the Option Plan on the number of Options that may be granted to any one person or any category of persons (including insiders);

• any amendment to change the maximum term of Options or extend the term of an option beyond the original expiry date, except as provided in the Option Plan;

• any amendment to permit awards, other than Options, to be granted under the Option Plan;

• any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Option Plan;

• any amendment which would allow for the transfer or assignment of an Option under the Option Plan, other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and

• amendments required to be approved by Shareholders under applicable law (including the rules of the TSXV).

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Option Plan. This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Option Plan which may be viewed under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Overview

We operate in an emerging industry and rapidly evolving market. To succeed in this environment and to achieve our business and financial objectives, we need to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executive officers.

The general objectives of our compensation program are:

• provide market-competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high-performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

• motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives; and

• align the interests of our executive officers with the long-term interest of our Shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of our business.

The compensation of our executive officers includes three major elements: (i) base salary to provide day-to-day compensation; (ii) cash bonuses; and (ii) long-term equity incentives to motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives, and also align their interests with the long-term interests of our Shareholders. Perquisites and personal benefits are not a significant element of compensation of our executive officers.

Our Compensation Committee oversees our compensation policies, processes and practices and has the responsibility of administering the compensation policies related to the directors and executive management of the Company, including option-based awards. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we did not establish any formal objectives, specific performance criteria or goals to which total compensation or any significant element of total compensation to be paid to any Named Executive Officer was dependent. For fiscal 2021, our Compensation Committee has established specific corporate objectives to measure performance against.

We will continue to evaluate our compensation philosophy and compensation program as circumstances require and review compensation on an annual basis. As part of this review process, we expect to be guided by the philosophy and objectives outlined above, as well as other factors which may become relevant, such as the cost to us if we were required to find a replacement for a key employee.

Base Salaries

Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers. Adjustments to base salaries are determined annually and may be increased based on the executive officer’s success in meeting or exceeding individual objectives, as well as to maintain market competitiveness. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope of breadth of an executive officer’s role or responsibilities.

Short-Term Incentives

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we did not have a formal short-term incentive plan in place and accordingly annual cash bonuses, including for the NEOs, were determined and

- 15 -

approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board taking into account a range of factors including the following: Company financial performance, significant operational achievements including the completion of the initial public offering and, securing of new production facilities, as well as successful management through the pandemic. For the NEOs, the notional target was 60% of base salary for the CEO, CFO and Chief Research & Development Officer, in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements.

For fiscal 2021, we have formalized our short-term incentive bonus plan pursuant to which cash bonus payments up to a certain percentage of an employee’s (including NEOs) salary may be paid, with the setting of concrete targets or KPIs, developed by management in conjunction with the Compensation Committee. Under this framework, 50% of the applicable bonus of a NEO or employee is subject to overall Company performance, and 50% of the applicable bonus is subject to functional performance based on KPIs achieved. The bonus is then further differentiated based on personal performance.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

We currently award long-term equity incentives in the form of Options under our Option Plan. The Option Plan is used to grant Options to directors, officers (including NEOs), employees and consultants of Very Good, as additional compensation and as an opportunity to participate in the success of the Company. The granting of such Options is intended to align the interests of such persons with that of our Shareholders.

In determining the number of Options to be granted to directors or executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, the Board takes into account, among other things:

• the number of Options, if any, currently held by or previously granted to each director or executive officer;

• position of the executive officer;

• overall individual performance; and

• anticipated contribution to our future success.

Director Compensation

Very Good’s director compensation program was implemented in late fiscal 2020 and is designed to attract and retain strong talent to serve on the Board, taking into account the risks and responsibilities of being an effective director. Pursuant to the program, independent directors receive cash retainer fees for board meetings which are paid on a quarterly basis and annual option grants under the Option Plan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our Board currently consists of six directors, three of whom, Dela Salem, Sarah Hardy and William (Bill) Tolany, are independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). Ana Silva is not independent as she is our President; Mitchell Scott is not independent as he is our Chief Executive Officer, and James Davison is not independent as he is our Chief Research and Development Officer. Following the Meeting at which one of our independent directors, Sarah Hardy, is not standing for re-election, our Board will consist of five directors with Dela Salem and Bill Tolany as the independent directors.

Directorships

None of the directors of the Company currently serve as directors of other reporting issuers.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Each new director of our Company is briefed about the nature of the Company’s business, its corporate strategy and current issues within the Company. New directors will be encouraged to review our public disclosure records as filed under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Directors are also provided with access to management to better understand the operations of the Company, and to the Company’s legal counsel to discuss their legal obligations as directors of the Company.

Ethical Business Conduct

Our Board has adopted a Code of Conduct (the “Code”) that is posted under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. The Code applies to all of our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The objective of the Code is to provide guidelines for maintaining our integrity, reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality, fair dealing with our Shareholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical behavior.

The Board is also required to comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the BCBCA and relevant securities regulation in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director is required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and is not entitled to vote on any matter that is the subject of the conflict of interest.

- 21 -

Nomination of Directors

We do not have a stand-alone nomination committee. Our management is responsible for, among other things, identifying and recommending qualified candidates for appointment, election and re-election to the Board and its committees. In recommending candidates to the Board, management considers, among other factors and in the context of the needs of the Board, potential conflicts of interest, professional experience, personal character, diversity, outside commitments and particular areas of expertise. The Company conducts due diligence, reference checks and background checks, as required, on any suitable candidate. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to us, the ability to devote the time required, integrity of character and a willingness to serve.

Assessments

Neither the Company nor the Board has developed a formal review system to assess the performance of the directors or the Board as a whole. The contributions of individual directors are monitored by other members of the Board on an informal basis through observation.

Committees of our Board

Our Board has established two committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee

Detailed information about our Audit Committee can be found under the heading “Audit Committee Information” in this Circular.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing, overseeing and evaluating our compensation policies. The current members of our Compensation Committee are Sarah Hardy and Dela Salem, both of whom are independent.

Our Compensation Committee’s purpose is to assist our Board in: (i) the appointment, performance, evaluation and compensation of our senior executives; (ii) the recruitment, development and retention of our senior executives; (iii) the establishment of policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices; (iv) developing compensation structure for our senior executives including salaries, annual and long-term incentive plans including plans involving equity issuances and other equity-based awards; (v) establishing policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate risks associated with our compensation policies and practices; and (vi) assessing the compensation of our directors; (vii) developing benefit retirement and savings plans.

AUDIT COMMITTEE INFORMATION

The primary function of the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee’’) is to assist the Board in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by monitoring: (i) the quality and integrity of our financial statements and other financial information; (ii) the compliance of such statements and information with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent external auditors; and (iv) the performance of our internal

accounting procedures.
