Better Choice Company Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because Company needs additional time to complete its financial statements and related disclosures related to the Acquisitions (as defined below). On May 6, 2019 the Company completed the acquisition of (i) the Delaware corporation that was previously known as “Bona Vida, Inc.” in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2019, by and among the Company, BCC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Bona Vida, Inc. (“Bona Vida”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto made and entered into as of May 3, 2019, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Bona Vida, with Bona Vida surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Bona Vida Acquisition”) and (ii) the Delaware limited liability company that was previously known as “TruPet LLC” in accordance with the terms of the Securities Exchange Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2019, by and between the Company and TruPet LLC (“TruPet”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto made and entered into as of May 6, 2019, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 93.3% of the outstanding TruPet membership interests (the “TruPet Acquisition” and, together with the Bona Vida Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”).
 
The Company is making this filing in order to provide management with sufficient time to complete their financial statements. The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
