In 2021, a lower production was already expected, compared to 2020, due to the productive biennial cycle of Arabica coffee. However, the 2021 harvest was further affected by negative bienniality due to adverse weather conditions.

However, starting January 2023, the subsidiary is now subject to income taxes using the 'Actual Profits' method ('Lucro Real') based on taxable income. Under this method, the taxes projected for 2023 are as follows: 2023 2023 $'000 (Ex Rate BRL4,20) 2021 2022 (800Mt) (1,000Mt) Verde Brazilian subsidiary profit before taxes Income taxes $7,720 $22,320 $6,852 $14,233 $665 $2,409 $2,580 $4,765 Total Taxes (% of net profit )* 9% 11% 38% 34% This method of taxation involves certain additions and exclusions. The company will be allowed to exclude up to 30% due to prior period losses, along with other investments that are deductible from the basis such as the "Lei do Bem" law and other tax compensations. These exclusions could offset up to 100% of the taxes to be paid in the year. Tax payments are calculated on a quarterly basis, and the exact percentage may vary depending on the specific circumstances. * As the headquarter is a non-profitable entity, calculating income tax based on the subsidiary's net profit before tax could result in a high percentage of the net profit.

The price of potash has been on a downward trend since late 2022, with a decrease of 47% in 2022 average KCI CFR Brasil price, compared to the current price, leading farmers to holdback potash purchases with the expectation of even lower prices in the near future. Verde's guidance for 2023 is described in the table below: FY 2023 Guidance Sales target (tonnes) Revenue (C$'000) EBITDA (C$'000)1 EPS (C$) Range - 800,000 1,200,000 78,135 - 115,332 9,341 - 24,565 0.04 -0.29 Cash held + Trade Receivables (C$'000) $21,979 - $35,004 The 2023 guidance is underpinned by the following assumptions: Average Brazilian Real ("R$") to Canadian dollar exchange rate: C$1.00 = R$4.20 • Average KCI CFR Brazil price of US$450, with an overall discount rate of 10%, resulting in the final price of US$405.

Proven Mineral Reserve: The economically minable part of a measured mineral resource. A proven mineral reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the modifying factors. 2. An indicated mineral resource' is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence.

The processing does not require tailings dams, nor does it generate any waste by products. In sum, the ore recovery rate is 100%. The mined area is mainly composed of degraded pasturelands that, once mined, Verde transforms into tropical forest. To that end, the Company planted 4,300 trees in 2019, 5,000 in 2020, 9,888 in 2021 and 10,341 in 2022, totaling over 29,500 trees. In 2023, Verde intends to plant 5,000 trees. All planted species are originally native to the region, many of which are today deemed endangered species. VERDE AGRITECH#5353 53 Potassium Chloride Replacement Potassium salt fertilizers are soil biodiversity's number 1 enemy. The average farmer applies 200 kg of potassium chloride to the soil per hectare per year. This is equivalent to the application of 1,600 litres of bleach as far as killing soil biodiversity.1 The world currently uses 61.5 million tonnes of potassium chloride for agriculture per year², the equivalent to more than 460 billion liters of bleach killing soil biodiversity yearly. Verde's Product eliminates the need for potassium chloride. Period In Q4 2022 Since production started Bleach equivalent amount that has not been applied to agricultural soils 157.5M litres 1.79B litres Over the next 36 years³, the Company intends to have prevented at least 957.8 billion liters of bleach from being applied to soils in the guise of potassium chloride. 1 Effects of Some Synthetic Fertilizers on the Soil Ecosystem (HEIDE HERMARY, 2007)/2 - FAOSTAT, Agricultural use of nutrient potash, 2018. http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/RFN 3 Based on NI 43-101 Production Schedule. See Pre-Feasibility Technical Report Cerrado Verde Project, MG, Brazil, page 141. VERDE AGRITECH#5454 Cultivando Amor Project Cultivando Amor is an initiative from Verde, in which there is a partner charity institution for each of the project's member cities. For each hectare in the region that is cultivated with BAKSⓇ or K Forte®, Verde donates part of the sales' profits to the partner institution of that city. The initiative has the support of the cities' Rural Union of Farmers (Sindicato Dos Produtores Rurais). In 2022, Verde donated over R$262,900 to local charities in Brazil. ..... VERDE AGRITECH 54#5555 Earned Growth Rate Earned Growth Rate ("EGR") is an accounting-based methodology that provides companies with an objective, data-driven connection between customer success, repeat and expanded purchases, word-of-mouth recommendations, a positive company culture, and business results. It gauges customer loyalty through the lens of revenue growth, identifying which revenue streams come from existing customers doing more business with a company and which ones come from referrals. The EGR measures the sales growth by volume generated by returning customers and new client purchases made by existing clients' referrals.¹ Verde's EGR was 38.71% in 2022, which shows a positive rate of sales driven by returning customers and clients' referrals.

The percentage of the clients' total purchase potential (in tonnes of Product) that was served by Verde increased from 9.57% in 2021 to 16.76% in 2022, demonstrating an increase in market adoption due to customers applying Verde's product in a larger area of their farms.

VERDE AGRITECH#5959 Verde's market size according to average KCI CFR Ports price K Forte® has 10% K₂O whereas KCl has 60% K₂O. Therefore, a farmer in Brazil pays 6 times less per tonne of K Forte® than it pays per tonne of KCl. Verde delivers K ForteⓇ to the farmers for the same price per tonne of K2O than KCl. Verde's freight costs increase as it sells its products further away from its production plants. The map and chart below show Verde's market size, highlighting the regions of Brazil where the Company can deliver K ForteⓇ for the same cost or at a lower cost per tonne of K₂O than KCl, according to the average KCI CFR Ports price. 1 KCI CFR Ports price (US$/t) Potential market for Verde (million tonnes of K ForteⓇ / KCl price) $100 9.11 ||9.11Mtpy $200 9.11 25.01 ]34.12Mtpy $300 9.11 25.01 $400 9.11 25.01 $500 9.11 25.01 21.45 |]55.57Mtpy 21.45 11.42 |] 67.00Mtpy 21.45 11.42 ] 69.67Mtpy 2.68 RR AP PA AM MA AC RO MT US$ 100 US$ 200 US$ 300 US$ 400 US$ 500 1 - The analysis is based on the following assumptions: Brazil's market size projected for 2023 = 7.02Mt of K2O, equivalent to 70.20Mt of K Forte® (10% K2O). 0.8% rate charged for brokerage and 0.17% rate charged for insurance rate, 25% rate charged for sea freight, US$25 (blender / dealer costs) + 12% (from KCl delivered to the blender) rate charged by blender/dealer, which includes taxes and profit margin (source Tec-Fértil).

The freight value variation is due to the different regions of Brazil where the Company can deliver K ForteⓇ for the same cost or at a lower cost per tonne of K₂O than KCI, according to the average KCI CFR Ports price (please refer to the map on previous slide). 5 - Verde's potential revenue was calculated based on KCI's price to be delivered to the farmer multiplied by KCI's potential market in K2O demand. Verde's margin was calculated as the deduction of the total costs to deliver 6 tonnes K ForteⓇ to the farmer (production + freight costs) for each potential market of K ForteⓇ from Verde's potential revenue.
