Issuer had adopted a shareholder rights plan in response to the Initial Proposal. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November 15, 2024, Danone North America PBC sent a second letter to
the Issuer (the &#147;<I>Updated Proposal</I>&#148;) in order to express its disappointment in the Board&#146;s response to the Initial Proposal and reiterate Danone North America PBC&#146;s strong commitment to the Proposed Transaction. In the
Updated Proposal, Danone North America PBC increased the offer for the Proposed Transaction from $25.00 per share to $27.00 per share. The Proposed Transaction would be wholly funded in cash from existing cash reserves of the Reporting Persons and
is not contingent on any financing requirements. The proposal is subject to the completion of due diligence and negotiation of definitive agreements. The foregoing summary of the Updated Proposal is not intended to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the Updated Proposal, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No
assurances can be given that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated. No legally binding obligation with respect to the Proposed Transaction will arise unless and until the relevant parties enter into mutually acceptable definitive
documentation. This&nbsp;Schedule 13D is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Reporting Persons intend to
engage in discussions with the Issuer regarding the terms of the Proposed Transaction. The Reporting Persons may change the terms of the Proposed Transaction, determine to accelerate or terminate discussions with the Issuer with respect to the
Proposed Transaction, withdraw the Updated Proposal, or any other proposal with respect to the Proposed Transaction, take any action to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction, or change their intentions
with respect to any such matters, in each case at any time and without prior notice. The Reporting Persons and their subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, take such additional steps as they may deem appropriate to further the Proposed
Transaction or otherwise to support their investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation: (a)&nbsp;engaging in discussions with other shareholders, potential sources of financing, advisors and other relevant parties; and (b)&nbsp;entering
into confidentiality arrangements, financing commitments, and other agreements, arrangements and understandings in connection with the Proposed Transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Proposed Transaction and/or any actions related thereto may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)&nbsp;to (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, the delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq and the Common Stock becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to<BR> Section&nbsp;12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Reporting Persons
intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer&#146;s financial position, results and strategic
direction, actions taken by the Issuer&#146;s management and the Board, price levels of the Common Stock and other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to
their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, acquiring additional Common Stock and/or other equity or other securities of the Issuer or disposing of some or all of the securities beneficially owned by them
in public market or privately negotiated transactions and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.<B><I> </I></B> </P>

dated September&nbsp;23, 2024. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We were disappointed by the Board&#146;s response to our Proposal, which offers compelling value to shareholders,
especially in light of the positive reaction to our Proposal by the market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We remain convinced that a transaction with Danone will allow Lifeway&#146;s
shareholders to realize immediate value and to drive Lifeway&#146;s continued development. We continue to believe Lifeway has an attractive opportunity to achieve its full potential through a combination with Danone, removing the constraints and
additional resources required for a publicly listed company of Lifeway&#146;s size. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While we have not been granted access to any due diligence yet, in
the spirit of demonstrating our strong commitment to the Transaction and continuing to offer a compelling proposition to Lifeway&#146;s shareholders, we are prepared to provide the Board with this updated
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> proposal (the &#147;<B>Updated Proposal</B>&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the terms and conditions of our
Proposal dated September&nbsp;23, 2024, which otherwise remain unchanged, we would be prepared to pay $27 per Lifeway share (the &#147;<B>Updated Indicative Price</B>&#148;), in all cash, for the entire share capital of the Company. This Updated
Indicative Price implies a premium of 72% over the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">3-month</FONT> volume weighted average price as of the last full trading day before we submitted to you our Proposal on September&nbsp;23, 2024<SUP
STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP>. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that this Updated Indicative Price fully reflects the fundamental potential of the Company
and provides Lifeway&#146;s shareholders with the certainty of an attractive and immediate cash premium. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are committed to ensuring Lifeway&#146;s
shareholders are offered the opportunity to benefit from our compelling Updated Proposal, and hope you and the rest of the Board will act accordingly. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this Updated Proposal and next steps with you. </P>
