The Story
CubicFarms unites three groups of uniquely talented individuals who, together, have the growing experience to develop this unique
technology, the manufacturing experience to produce the units, and the business experience to sell their innovative products.
Leo Benne & Jack Benne | Cultivation Experts
As the founders of Bevo, the leading supplier of propagated plants in North America, the father-son combination of Jack
and Leo Benne developed the revolutionary technology that is the basis for CubicFarms – the CubicFarm system. Jack
and Leo spent years experimenting with hydroponics and different growing system configurations to design a solution
that could provide significant competitive advantages in yields, resource efficiency and plant consistency. Today, Jack
and Leo Benne continue to follow their passion by enhancing the CubicFarm system and growing different cultivars at
the Pitt Meadows facility.
Dave Dinesen & Dean Drysdale | Seasoned Management
Dave Dinesen and Dean Drysdale are two experienced entrepreneurs who successfully built BackCheck into the
Canadian leader in background screening and a global business. Observing the tremendous global opportunity for
vertical farming and Jack and Leo Benne’s unparalleled technology, they partnered with the Benne’s to form a perfectly
complementary team. Dave Dinesen and Dean Drysdale will lead CubicFarms’ corporate client acquisition, international
growth, and day-to-day management.
CubicFarms has developed the CubicFarm system, a growing system that uses a patented,1undulating path to
improve resource efficiency for farms worldwide. CubicFarms believes this technology:
achieves higher yields, grows better produce, uses less water and is more
environmentally friendly than alternative farming techniques
Strong Seed-to-Store-Shelf Brand
In addition to the growing machines, CubicFarms has developed proprietary propagation and seeding processes,
packaging, and a retail brand. CubicFarms intends to utilize these items to create value for CubicFarmers, local
grocers and the end-consumer. This brand is intended to:
stand out on the shelf and have a reputation for being fresh, local and flavourful
Where possible, CubicFarms intends to implement a strategy wherein it creates joint ventures with customers to
reduce capital requirements, promote research and development, and improve scalability. This is intended to:
generate long-term earnings, improve the operating experience, and reduce customer
capital requirementsJoint Venture Strategy

Outside The CubicFarm System
Expandability
Each CubicFarm system is expandable without
interrupting current crop production or workflow. One
Cubic irrigation system can support up to four complete
systems.
Individual Growing Machines
Each growing machine is segregated and individually climate
controlled to accommodate a wide variety of crops each with
the ideal environment. Each growing machine is controlled by a
proprietary app to control lighting schedules, climate, machine
speed, and irrigation.
Centralized Work Space
Each growing chamber opens up to the centralized work
space that accommodates all planting, harvesting and
packaging as well as monitoring of all crops. The machine
brings all crops to the front of each frequently to
accommodate efficient harvesting and planting.
7
Inside The CubicFarm System
Each growing machine has more than
200 trays of plants. Trays and inserts are
easily swapped out for different crops and
densities to ensure maximum flexibility.
Each growing machine is built inside a
custom built, stainless steel (inside and
outside are stainless), highly-insulated,
high-cube container. The walls and ceiling
form the exoskeleton of the machine for
optimization of the interior space.
Each growing machine is supplied with its
own irrigation requirements, based on the
type of crop, and the stage of crop. All
irrigation is provided from our centralized
irrigation system, but individualized via
our proprietary app.
Lights are installed only at the top of each
growing machine, on either side of the
environmental ducting.
A patented conveyor system is used to
move the trays through the growing
chamber. The speed is managed through
CubicFarms’ custom app that sets the
speed depending on crop variety and
activity, such as growing, harvesting or
planting.
A water recycling system is used to
minimize fresh water consumption and
monitor nutrient levels.
Produce is grown hydroponically in trays,
without soil. Plants are grown in their
natural horizontal position, and utilize
gravity to ensure even distribution of
water and nutrients, ensuring even growth
of every plant on each tray to maximize
yield.
The undulating path creates multiple “V
shape” areas. A light at the top of each
“V” ensures all sides of the plants are
bathed in light during each rotation. One
light is able to service multiple trays of
plants.
Benefits of the CubicFarm System
8
The management team believes the CubicFarm system is ideal for high volume, leafy and other similar crops. The management team
believes the CubicFarm provides efficiency, automation, energy, water, and labour savings and eliminates the need for pesticides.
Traditional
Growing
Labour
Quality
Water
Time
Environmental
Workers walk across a growing area, lift heavy equipment and place
severe strain on their bodies
With a one-touch handling process, currently each CubicFarm system
machine requires only ten labour hours per week
Crops are grown in varying and inconsistent conditions, creating
high variability in crop quality
With consistent growing conditions year-round in CubicFarm
system machine, crops can be consistently high quality
At least 12 litres of water are used to grow a head of field lettuce,
with no recycling possible
Water is recycled within the CubicFarm system and, as a result, each
head of lettuce needs less than 1 litre per head of lettuce
Suboptimal growing conditions lead to longer growing cycles and
growing is limited to certain seasons
Closely monitored conditions and advanced technology lead to growing
cycles as low as 5-21 days1
Uses a mixture of insecticides, pesticides, fertilizers and GMOs Uses only fertilizer

that the produce continues to grow after being harvested2
Company Overview
Thriiv Local Garden
14
CubicFarms has developed a produce brand called Thriiv Local Garden. The brand utilizes patent-pending packaging that allows
produce such as lettuce, basil and microgreens to continue growing at home after purchase.
Green Leaf Lettuce in Thriiv Packaging

CubicFarms’ management believes this is an innovative
product offering. This offering fits the goal of
CubicFarms to provide high-quality produce to
consumers in a sustainable manner.
INNOVATIVE
CubicFarms’ management believes Thriiv Local Garden
products achieve a higher quality than other produce
brands as a result of the consistency of CubicFarm
systems.
HIGH QUALITY
Thriiv-branded products reduce waste by remaining
alive until consumption and thus reducing wastage.
REDUCE
WASTE
CubicFarms’ management estimates this packaging
allows produce to be stored in the fridge for up to three
weeks, or left on a windowsill and watered, where it will
continue to grow.

Industry Outlook
17
The vertical farming industry is driven by favourable shifts in macro-economic, consumer preference, and technological trends. The
future potential of the space has fueled considerable interest and investment.
As the world population increases, there is both less water and arable land available for farming3 4
The world needs to find alternatives to traditional farming for sustainable, long-term crop development
Vertical Farming is a radical and disruptive new agriculture technology
with a projected market value of $8.3bn by 20235
Major players in the vertical farming space have received ~$400m6 7 8 in funding from high-profile investors
