decision point was build vs buy Decision taken to buy Significantly accelerates planned capacity expansion by up to two years Enables faster market penetration and brings growth forward Immediately increases LGP's cultivation capacity to >23 tonnes per annum of cannabis biomass (up from ~3 tonnes) a~8x increase Significant production capacity ensures self sufficiency and long-term security of supply Provides future expansion capability in Europe Acquisition consistent with LGP's EU expansion strategy and clear strategic fit with LGP's existing operations and capabilities Provides platform to leverage Company's early mover advantage in key EU markets Additional capacity positions the Company to meet market demand driven by LGP's established brand and distribution channels in Europe Location within EU avoids many EU export/import barriers and requires substantially less export and logistics resourcing than sales from Australia into Europe Improves distribution strategy by serving European customers from Europe Acquisition consideration compares very favourably with facility investment to date little green pharma 11#12Acquisition Strategic Rationale (cont'd) Increased economies of scale Superior cost of incremental capacity expansion Geographic diversification Medicinal cannabis focus Access to best- practices and knowledge Efficiency gains through greater scale of operations Denmark Facility expected to produce GMP medicinal cannabis flower at superior economics (cost per gram) to the West Australian Facility Further cost efficiencies driven by manufacturing and certain laboratory testing being done in-house Future cost efficiencies will be driven by additional automation Consistent with LGP's strategy of acquiring or building adequate capacity to meet market demand and avoiding over-capitalisation Significantly lower cost of incremental capacity expansion through acquisition, with the acquisition cost of ~A$1.0 million per tonne being approximately one third of the ~A$2.7 million per tonne cost of building equivalent capacity in Australia while also representing a time saving of up to two years Two strategically located production facilities from which LGP can service Southern and Northern hemisphere markets Maintains LGP's sole focus on medicinal cannabis The Danish pharma and biotech industry is among the best and most innovative in the world Ensures continued access to market jurisdictions and investors that do not permit engagement with companies undertaking recreational cannabis activities LGP Group will benefit from internally sharing best-practice cultivation, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical practices and expertise 60 staff with average of three years' industry experience and trained by the world's largest cannabis company in a country known for its high GMP standard little green pharma 12#13レ 5#14Capacity Expansion Strategy LGP's West Australian Facility near 100% capacity for finished flower as result of orders received to date • Expansion of West Australian Facility to 6 tonnes p.a. expected to require $8 million investment and require one to two years to build out (construction and permitting) Incremental 3 tonnes capacity (~$2.7m per tonne) Acquisition of Denmark Facility immediately adds >20 tonnes of biomass cultivation capacity (~$1.0m per tonne) and gives LGP two years of additional market access Acquisition of Denmark Facility enables LGP to redeploy significant capital investment previously earmarked for the expansion of cultivation capacity at its West Australian Facility The Company will continue to progress its manufacturing capacity expansion at its West Australian Facility to match its current cultivation capacity LGP proposes to embark on a rapid, market-share acquisition strategy by placing Denmark-produced strategically-priced new LGP brands/strains and white-label products into EU and global markets little green pharma 14#15Post Acquisition Integration Fundamental post integration elements for synergy and value CULTURE SALES & MARKETING OPERATIONS Develop EU sales and marketing capability Integrate LGP brands into facility Launch white-label sales and bulk flower offerings Ramp up operations from 25% to 50% capacity using existing resources Target cash generation -
