INFORMATION STATEMENT
February __, 2024
INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation 14C promulgated thereunder, the notice and this information statement (this “Information Statement”) will be sent or given on or about February ___, 2024 to the holders of the common stock, par value $0.001 per shares (the “Common Stock”), of Better Choice Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). This Information Statement is being circulated to advise stockholders of certain actions already approved and taken without a meeting by written consent of stockholders who hold a majority of the voting power of our voting capital stock.
On February 15, 2024, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) unanimously adopted resolutions approving, declaring advisable and recommending to the Company’s stockholders for their approval a proposal to authorize the Board, in its discretion, to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-25 to 1-for-45, such ratio to be determined by the Board (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Approval of this proposal will grant the Board the authority, without further action by the stockholders of the Company, to carry out such action any time prior to March 31, 2024, with the exact exchange ratio and timing to be determined at the discretion of the Board.
Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), any action required or permitted by the DGCL to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of a Delaware corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the approval of any action so taken must be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing to the action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would otherwise have been entitled to notice of the meeting.
Under the DGCL and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting capital stock is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split. On February 16, 2024, stockholders that, in the aggregate, are the record owners of 18,300,158 shares of our Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, 50.5% of our outstanding voting capital stock (together, the “Consenting Stockholders”), executed and delivered to the Company written consents authorizing and approving the Reverse Stock Split. The Consenting Stockholders include all of the members of our Board and other significant shareholders.
Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split has been approved by stockholders representing the requisite number of shares of our outstanding voting capital stock. As such, no vote or further action of the stockholders of the Company is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split. You are hereby being provided with this notice of the approval of the Reverse Stock Split and related charter amendment by less than unanimous written consent of the stockholders of the Company. The Reverse Stock Split will not be effective until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement has first been sent to stockholders.
We will provide definitive information in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split
The Board is recommending the Reverse Stock Split for several important reasons. Firstly, the proposed Reverse Stock Split is needed in order to allow the Company to continue to list our shares of Common Stock on the NYSE American, LLC exchange (“NYSE American”). On September 21, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “NYSE Notice”) from the NYSE American indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (“Section 1003(f)(v)”) because shares of the Company’s common stock have been selling for a substantial period of time at a low price per share. The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock and the common stock has continued to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “BTTR.” Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v), the NYSE American determined that the Company’s continued listing is predicated on effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock or demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the NYSE American determined to be no later than March 21, 2024. A decrease in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split should, absent other factors, increase the per share market price of the Company’s common stock, although there is no assurance that the selling price for the Common Stock would remain over the selling price requirements of the in order to sustain a continued listing our Common Stock on the NYSE American if the Company elects to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.
An additional reason why the Board is recommending the Reverse Stock Split is to provide the Company with the appropriate flexibility it requires to issue shares in the event that the Board determines that it is necessary or appropriate to (i) raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, (ii) enter into strategic business transactions, (iii) provide equity incentives to directors, officers and employees pursuant to equity compensation plans or (iv) further other corporate purposes.
Lastly, the Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split could enhance the appeal of the Company’s common stock to the financial community, including institutional investors, and the general investing public. The Board believes that a number of institutional investors and investment funds are reluctant to invest in lower-priced securities and that brokerage firms may be reluctant to recommend lower-priced stock to their clients, which may be due in part to a perception that lower-priced securities are less promising as investments, are less liquid in the event that an investor wishes to sell its shares, or are less likely to be followed by institutional securities research firms and therefore to have less third-party analysis of the Company available to investors. In addition, certain institutional investors or investment funds may be prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold. The Board believes that the reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the common stock caused by the Reverse Stock Split, together with the anticipated increased stock price immediately following and resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, may encourage interest and trading in the Company’s common stock and thus possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company’s stockholders, thereby resulting in a broader market for the common stock than that which currently exists. Finally, the Company believes that the intended increase in the stock price could decrease price volatility, as currently small changes in the price of the common stock result in relatively large percentage changes in the stock price.
The Company cannot assure that all or any of the anticipated beneficial effects on the trading market for the Company’s common stock will occur. The Board cannot predict with certainty what effect the Reverse Stock Split will have on the market price of the common stock, particularly over the longer term. Some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, which could result in a decrease in our market capitalization. Additionally, any improvement in liquidity due to increased institutional or brokerage interest or lower trading commissions may be offset by the lower number of outstanding shares.
Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split
The Board believes that stockholder approval of a range of Reverse Stock Split ratios (rather than a single exchange ratio) is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders because it provides the Board with the flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split and because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the Reverse Stock Split would be implemented. If stockholders approve this proposal, the Board would carry out the Reverse Stock Split only upon the Board’s determination that a reverse stock split would be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders at that time, and only (without further stockholder approval) up to March 31, 2024. The Board would then set the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split within the range approved by the Company’s stockholders and in an amount it determines is advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders considering relevant market conditions at the time the Reverse Stock Split is to be implemented. In determining the Reverse Stock Split ratio, following receipt of stockholder approval, the Board may consider numerous factors including:
● the projected impact of the Reverse Stock Split ratio on trading liquidity in the Common Stock and the Company’s ability to continue the listing of the Common Stock on the NYSE American;
● the historical and projected performance of the Common Stock;
● general economic and other related conditions prevailing in the Company’s industry and in the marketplace;
● the Company’s capitalization (including the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding);
● the then-prevailing trading price for the Common Stock and the volume level thereof; and
● potential devaluation of our market capitalization as a result of a Reverse Stock Split.
The Board intends to select a reverse stock split ratio that it believes would be most likely to achieve the anticipated benefits of the reverse stock split described above.
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split
Before executing this Action by Written Consent of Stockholders and approving the Reverse Stock Split, the undersigned has considered the following risks associated with effecting the Reverse Stock Split:
● Although the Company expects that the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the market price of our common stock, the Company cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will increase the market price of the common stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the common stock outstanding or result in a permanent increase in the market price. The effect the Reverse Stock Split may have upon the market price of the common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances to the Company’s is varied. The market price of the common stock is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s business and financial performance, general market conditions, prospects for future success and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of the common stock after the proposed Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Stock Split and, in the future, the market price of the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the proposed Reverse Stock Split.
● Even if the Reverse Stock Split is approved, the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the Common Stock continues to be listed on the NYSE American, there can be no assurance that the Company will maintain the ongoing continued listing requirements for an extended period of time.
● The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock on a post-split basis. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
● While the Board believes that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the common stock may not necessarily improve.
● Although the Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split and the anticipated increase in the market price of common stock could encourage interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company’s stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
Effect on Existing Common Stock
If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 36,240,690 shares (as of February 15, 2024) to between approximately 1,449,628 shares and 805,349 shares, depending on which exchange ratio is ultimately effected. Except for the change resulting from the adjustment for fractional shares (described below), the change in the number of shares of common stock outstanding that will result from the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership in the Company. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of common stock would not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split.
Although the Reverse Stock Split will not have any dilutive effect on stockholders (other than de minimis adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares), the proportion of shares owned by the Company’s stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease because the number of authorized shares of common stock would remain at 200,000,000. As a result, additional authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as the Board may deem advisable without further action by the Company’s stockholders, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, such shares could be dilutive to the Company’s existing stockholders by decreasing such stockholders’ percentage of equity ownership in the Company. Please see “Potential Anti-Takeover Effect” below for more information on potential anti-takeover effects of the Reverse Stock Split.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued. Any fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole share.
Effect on Equity Compensation Plans and Outstanding Warrants
The proposed Reverse Stock Split, if effectuated, will reduce the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan in proportion to the exchange ratio selected by the Board.
Under the terms of the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants, the proposed Reverse Stock Split will cause a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such awards and warrants in proportion to the exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and will cause a proportionate increase in the exercise price of such awards and warrants. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of outstanding equity awards and warrants will be rounded up to the nearest whole share and no cash payment will be made in respect of such rounding.
The following table contains approximate information relating to the Company’s common stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split under certain possible exchange ratios, based on share information as of February 15, 2024.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect
Since the Reverse Stock Split, if effectuated, will result in increased available shares, the Reverse Stock Split may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Although neither the Board nor the Company’s management views this proposal as an anti-takeover measure, the Company could use the increased available shares to frustrate persons seeking to affect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company. For example, the Company could privately place shares with purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid or issue shares to a holder that would, thereafter, have sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to amend or repeal the Company’s bylaws or certain provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation would not receive the requisite vote. The Company’s certificate of incorporation already includes authorized preferred stock, which can also be seen as an anti-takeover measure, and the Board can designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of series of preferred stock without further stockholder action. The Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws also include other provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect.
Vote Required
Pursuant to DGCL and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the approval of the Reverse Stock Split required a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting capital stock. Pursuant to the and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval. As discussed above, stockholders owning greater than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have consented to Reverse Stock Split.
