John de Jonge | Manufacturing and Product Development Expert

As the owner of Artex Barn Solutions for over 23 years, John de Jonge has a wide range of manufacturing and product

development experience in the agriculture industry. In his early days at Artex, John managed the shift of manufacturing

from Canada to China. As a result of this shift, he has become well-known in the industry for bringing quality

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.

Page 5: CubicFarms Information Presentation - Zenabis · This presentation, and the information contained herein, is not for release, distribution or publication into or in the United States

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.

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

Note: 1. Depending on size and variety required.

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
