<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">As previously reported, SunOpta Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) terminated the employment of Mr. David Colo as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on February 21, 2019. In
connection with his termination, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and
Final Release (the &#147;Separation Agreement&#148;) with Mr. Colo on March 5, 2019.
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Colo will be entitled to receive the
following:</P>
<UL style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">
  <LI>A pro-rated portion of base salary of $17,500, representing unpaid
  salary through the final effective date of the termination of Mr.
  Colo&#146;s employment, which was deemed to be February 26, 2019 (the &#147;Termination Date&#148;) for purposes of the Separation Agreement;
  <br>
&nbsp;<LI>Severance pay in the total gross amount of $1,050,000 to be paid within
  60 days from the Termination Date; <br>
&nbsp;<LI>All unvested Special RSUs previously granted to Mr. Colo will vest as
  of the Termination Date and be settled in accordance with the terms of
  the applicable award agreement; <br>
&nbsp;<LI>Reimbursement for any properly incurred but unreimbursed business
  expenses through the Termination Date. </LI></UL>
<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">All unvested Special Options
and Special PSUs previously granted to Mr. Colo were immediately forfeited and
cancelled effective as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Employment
Agreement, dated February 2, 2017, between Mr. Colo and the Company (the
&#147;Employment Agreement&#148;), and Mr. Colo will not be entitled to any payment in
lieu of the forfeited and cancelled Special Options or Special PSUs.</P>
<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">The Company will apply
standard tax and other applicable withholdings to payments made to Mr. Colo. The
Company also will pay Mr. Colo accrued but unused vacation. </P>
<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">Mr. Colo&#146;s right to receive
the consideration and benefits is contingent upon Mr. Colo agreeing to (and not
revoking) a release of claims against the Company, and to that end the
Separation Agreement contains a release and waiver of claims for the benefit of
the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Colo agrees to release the Company and
certain other parties from any and all claims, charges, causes of action and
damages arising on or prior to his execution of the Separation Agreement. </P>
<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">In consideration for the
payment and benefits provided under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Colo agrees to
continue to be bound by certain non-competition, non-solicitation and
confidentiality provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement. </P>
<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">Mr. Colo shall have the right
to revoke the Separation Agreement by giving written notice to the Company
within fifteen (15) days after signing the Separation Agreement. In the event of
any such revocation, the Separation Agreement will no longer be effective and
Mr. Colo will not receive the payment and benefits listed above. </P>
<P align=justify style="text-indent: 5%">The foregoing summary of the Separation
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Separation
Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.</P>
