The Very Good Food Company Inc. (TSXV: VERY.V) (OTCQB: VRYYF) (FSE: 0SI) ("VERY GOOD" or the "Company"), a leading plant-based food technology company, is pleased to announce that it has submitted an initial application to list on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). The Company is pursuing a Nasdaq listing to enhance its investor profile with the goal of driving shareholder value. This initiative allows the Company to accelerate its business strategy focused on global expansion into the United States (“US“) and Europe, while attracting institutional and retail investors as well as potential M&A opportunities. VERY GOOD is seeking to further expand its retail and eCommerce footprint organically and through strategic business opportunities that complement its product category expansion and distribution plans.
