Simply Better Brands Corp. ("SBBC" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: SBBC) announces today that it has entered into a non-binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") to acquire 60% of the Crisp Management Group Inc. ("Crisp Management Group") to focus on the sale and distribution of CBD and Hemp products through Breakaway Music Festivals in North America as well as through E-commerce.

Under the terms of the Term Sheet, SBBC will acquire 60% of the outstanding shares of the Crisp Management Group for USD$500,000, to be satisfied through the issuance of common shares of SBBC at a price per share equal to the ten (10) trading day volume weighed average trading price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other recognized stock exchange upon which the shares are listed for trading) in the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the transaction. It is expected that the share consideration will be subject to escrow, with 15% releasable on the 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 month anniversaries of the closing date, and the remaining 25% releasable 24 months from the closing date. Additionally, SBBC would provide working capital of USD$200,000 to Crisp Management Group and would provide e-commerce management for Crisp Management Group business as well as sales at the Breakaway Music Festival events (https://breakawayfestival.com/). Additionally, the Crisp Management Group CBD brand and SBBC’s brands will be the exclusive CBD brands available at each music event through Breakaway Music Festival.

Kathy Casey, CEO of SBBC stated, "On our plant-based wellness mission, we relentlessly focus on efficacy, innovation and brand availability. Our partnership with the Crisp Management Group is about access to our targeted Gen Z and Millennial consumers during live experiential events. We remain convinced, CBD and music are key enablers to overall well-being and are thrilled to fuel the collaboration."

Adam Lynn of Crisp Management Inc. stated, "We are very excited to bring the knowledge of Simply Better Brands to our festivals across the United States and soon internationally. We are a dominant force for music festivals in secondary markets that are not saturated with other CBD products. Crisp and SBBC will quickly gain major market share and will build a foundation that we envision will become a prominent brand in the space. We also have one of the largest influencer networks in the US and will use influencer marketing and merchandise to expand the brand from a digital standpoint."

The parties intend to complete the transaction as soon as is practicable and, subject to satisfactory completion of customary due diligence, will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a definitive agreement as soon as possible. Any final transaction between the two parties is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. No long-term debt will be assumed by SBBC in connection with the transaction.
