• January 2021: $12.0m Credit Facility closed with Wintrust Financial ($6.0m TL; $6.0m Revolver) • Completed refinancing of the Bridge Loan, extending existing maturities and reducing annual cash interest expense by ~$2m • Reduction in leverage of ~$2m relative to December 31, 2020 balance sheet • January 2021: $4.1m Equity Investment • Significant participation by insiders and management; use of proceeds intended to accelerate future innovation opportunities • February 2021: $1.3m Warrant Proceeds • ~1 million warrants exercised by existing shareholders • Potential Balance Sheet Changes in Event of Uplist: Convertible Notes & Series F Warrant Liability • As of 3/31/21, BTTR recorded a liability of $19.6m of Convertible Notes, net of discounts – the majority of which were issued to the sellers of Halo • As of 3/31/21, BTTR recorded a liability of $46.3m of Series F warrants, which were issued in connection with the $21.7m October 2020 Financing • In the event of an uplist transaction, the Convertible Notes automatically convert into equity, and the anti-dilution provision of the Series F Warrants is no longer be effective. As a result, we expect these instruments to be reclassified to equity in the event of an uplist, which would reduce our Total Liabilities and increase Total Shareholder’s Equity by $65.9 million (assuming balance sheet is unchanged as of 12/31/20) 21 Key Events in Q1 2021 Have Positively Impacted Better Choice’s Balance Sheet Ahead of Contemplated Summer 2021 Uplist 21 Total Liquidity (Q1 2021): $4.3 Million Cash + $1.1 Million Revolver Availability
