July 26, 2017, SunOpta Foods Inc. (&#147;SunOpta Foods&#148;), a subsidiary of SunOpta
Inc. (&#147;SunOpta&#148;), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Skjodt-Barrett
Contract Packaging LLC (&#147;Skjodt-Barrett&#148;), pursuant to which SunOpta Foods will
sell equipment used in the production of flexible, re-sealable pouches from its
Allentown, PA facility to Skjodt-Barrett for $2.0 million. The asset sale is in
conjunction with SunOpta&#146;s decision to discontinue flexible, re-sealable pouch
products as part of its ongoing portfolio optimization strategy and value
creation plan. </P>
<P
align=justify><STRONG>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</STRONG>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Flexible
re-sealable pouch products accounted for $46 million of SunOpta&#146;s revenues in
fiscal 2016, and $10 million of revenues in the first quarter of 2017, and were
part of the healthy snacks platform within SunOpta&#146;s consumer products segment.
SunOpta will continue to produce aseptic beverages from its Allentown, PA
facility, which were not part of the sale. The sale of equipment is expected to
close during the fourth quarter of 2017.</P>
