Better Plant Streamlines Operations

Better Plant Streamlines Operations

Vancouver, B.C. – January 21, 2022: Better Plant Sciences Inc. (CSE: PLNT) (OTCQB: VEGGF) (“Better Plant” or the “Company”), a wellness company that develops and sells plant-based products, is pleased to announce it has streamlined operations and plans to reduce expenses by discontinuing the brand Urban Juve and discontinuing the Jusu Bar juice business. Better Plant plans to focus its resources in the near term on the Jusu Wellness line of products. It also plans to look at potential acquisitions and other opportunities to build value for shareholders.

Urban Juve Provisions Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Better Plant, which has been selling  the Urban Juve ayurvedic inspired line of 11 skincare products and two hand sanitizer products, will take all of its product offline, and the brand Urban Juve will be discontinued. Urban Juve formulas and other intellectual property will be transferred to Jusu Wellness Inc., another wholly owned subsidiary of Better Plant. Jusu Wellness currently makes and sells over 40 plant-based products, including cleaning products, skin care products and body products.

With the assets from Urban Juve, Jusu Wellness will have an expanded catalog of formulas and may be able to take advantage of some of Urban Juve’s key account and retailer relationships to grow its business. This past quarter Jusu Wellness added five new retailers including Yes Wellness, The Found House, Echo Wofford, Old Joy Gift Boxes and Fido’s World.

Jusu Bars is winding down it’s juice operations. Operations of Jusu Bar at Cadboro Bay in Victoria, British Columbia will cease in February 2022. Juice manufacturing of new products has ceased, and the online ordering platform will stop selling Jusu juices in January 2022.

Both Urban Juve and Jusu Bars have been money losing businesses and so it’s expected that discontinuing them will improve Better Plant’s financial position by reducing future losses, although there will be a reduction in revenues and some assets may be impaired.

Perry Chua has resigned as Chief Creative Officer, effective January 14, 2022, but will continue to work with Better Plant as a consultant. Better Plant continues to act as an incubator for new businesses by providing branding, marketing, and accounting services to emerging companies. In his role as consultant, Mr. Chua will continue to oversee Better Plant’s creative team in the provision of these services.
