(“ CubicFarms ” or the “ Corporation ”) at a price of $1.25 (the “ Offering Price ”) per Offered Share (the “ Offering ”). See “Plan of Distribution”.

The issued and outstanding common shares (“ Common Shares ”) in the capital of the Corporation are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“ TSX ”) under the symbol “CUB”. On November 18, 2021, the last full trading day on the TSX prior to the date of this prospectus supplement, the closing price of the Common Shares was $1.24.

  1. The Corporation has agreed to pay the Underwriters, on the Closing Date (as defined herein), a cash commission (the “ Underwriters’ Fee ”) equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (or $0.075 per Offered Share), other than gross proceeds on any sales made to President’s List (as defined below) purchasers, on which a reduced fee of 3% of such gross proceeds will be paid to the Underwriters (or $0.0375 per Offered Share sold to President’s

  3. List purchasers). “ President’s List ” means a list of purchasers of Offered Shares provided by the Corporation to the Underwriters accounting for a maximum of $1,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

  4. After deducting the Underwriters’ Fee, but before deducting the expenses of the Offering, estimated to be $250,000 (exclusive of taxes and disbursements), which will be paid from the gross proceeds of the Offering.

  5. The Corporation has granted the Underwriters an option (the “ Over-Allotment Option ”) to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 Common Shares at the Offering Price, exercisable from time to time, in whole or in part, upon written notice to the Corporation by the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. In respect of the Over-Allotment Option, the Corporation will pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 6.0% of the proceeds realized on the exercise of the OverAllotment Option, or $0.075 per Common Share. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total Offering, the Underwriters’ Fee (assuming no sales to President’s List purchasers under the Offering) and net proceeds to the Corporation (before deducting expenses of the total Offering) will be $23,000,000, $1,380,000 and $21,620,000, respectively. The prospectus qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of any Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. A purchaser who acquires Common Shares forming part of the Underwriters’ overallocation position acquires those Common Shares under the prospectus, regardless of whether the Underwriters’ over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the “Offering” and the “Offered Shares” include the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. See “Plan of Distribution” .

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Corporation and delivered to and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under “ Plan of Distribution ” and subject to approval of certain legal matters relating to the Offering on behalf of the Corporation by Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP.

Subscriptions for Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that the closing of the Offering will occur on or about November 24, 2021, or on such other date as may be agreed upon by the Corporation and the Underwriters (the “ Closing Date ”). Except in certain limited circumstances: (a) the Offered Shares will be registered and represented electronically through the non-certificated inventory of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“ CDS ”) or its nominee pursuant to the bookbased system administered by CDS; (b) certificates evidencing the Offered Shares will not be issued to purchasers; and (c) purchasers will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriter or other registered dealer who is a CDS participant (a “ Participant ”) and from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Offered Shares are purchased. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with the Offering, effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price specified above. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the subscription price to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the Offered Shares remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold within the United States except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Underwriters, through their United States registered brokerdealer affiliates, may offer and sell the Offered Shares in the United States to “qualified institutional buyers” (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act) in transactions in accordance with Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and exemptions under applicable state securities laws. The Underwriters will offer and sell the Offered Shares outside the United States only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. Neither this prospectus supplement, nor the prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein, constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Offered Shares in the United States. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

Investing in the Offered Shares involves a high degree of risk. A prospective purchaser should therefore review this prospectus supplement together with the prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by

reference therein in their entirety. See “ Risk Factors ” along with the risk factors described in the prospectus and the risk factors described in the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus. See “ Documents Incorporated by Reference ”.

Neither the Corporation nor the Underwriters have authorized anyone to provide information different from that contained in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF CUBICFARMS

CubicFarms is a local chain agricultural technology company that provides unique automated on site commercial-scale food and livestock feed technologies. CubicFarms’ technologies convert wasteful long supply chain agriculture into local chains to improve independent access to quality food and maximize crop yield all while reducing the environmental cost of food and feed production. These technologies provide independent and efficient fresh produce and livestock feed supply for every city, community, government, and country, 365 days a year.

The Corporation operates two segments, which are its fresh division (the “ Fresh Division ”) and feed division (the “ Feed Division ”). The Fresh Division and Feed Division use two distinct technologies that address two distinct markets.

  • 6 -

Fresh Division

The Corporation’s Fresh Division operates using the patented CubicFarm™ System, which contains CubicFarms’ patented technology for growing leafy greens and other crops (the “ CubicFarm System ”). It is a unique modular growing system which is the product of eight years of research by Dutch greenhouse growers, Jack and Leo Benne. Jack and Leo Benne were the majority shareholders of Bevo Agro Inc., one of the largest plant propagation businesses in North America. The CubicFarm System addresses two of the most difficult challenges in the vertical farming industry, being high electricity and labour costs, using unique undulating path technology. CubicFarms leverages its patented technology by operating its own research and development facility in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, selling the CubicFarm System to farmers, licensing its technology and providing industry-leading vertical farming expertise to its customers.

Feed Division

The Corporation’s Feed Division operates using CubicFarms’ HydroGreen technology for growing nutritious livestock feed (the “ HydroGreen System ”). The HydroGreen System was invented by Dihl Grohs, a rancher with operations in South Dakota, Utah and Missouri. This system utilizes a unique process to sprout grains, such as barley and wheat, in a controlled environment with minimal use of land, labour and water. The HydroGreen System is fully automated and performs all growing functions including seeding, watering, lighting, harvesting, and re-seeding – all with the push of a button – to deliver nutritious livestock feed without the typical investment in fertilizer, chemicals, fuel, field equipment and transportation. The HydroGreen System not only provides superior nutritious feed to benefit the animal, but also enables significant environmental benefits to the farm.

Further details concerning the Corporation, including information with respect to the Corporation’s assets, operations and history, are provided in the AIF and in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the prospectus. Readers are encouraged to thoroughly review these documents as they contain important information about the Corporation.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) dated effective November 19, 2021 between the Corporation and the Underwriters, the Corporation has agreed to issue and sell the Offered Shares to the Underwriters and the Underwriters have severally agreed and not jointly and severally agreed to purchase such Offered Shares at the Offering Price on the Closing Date, (subject to the termination rights described below) payable in cash to the Corporation against delivery, subject to compliance with all necessary legal requirements and the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Corporation will pay the Underwriters the Underwriters’ Fee of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (or $0.075 per Offered Share) for an aggregate Underwriters’ Fee payable by the Corporation of $1,200,000 (assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) in consideration for the services of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering , other than gross proceeds on any sales made to President’s List purchasers, on which a reduced fee of 3.0% of such proceeds (or $0.0375 per Offered Share) will be paid to the Underwriters. The President’s List may include purchasers of Offered Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. The terms of the Offering, including the Offering Price, were determined by negotiation among the Corporation and the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters.

The Corporation has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable from time to time, in whole or in part, upon written notice to the Corporation by the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date, enabling the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Common Shares at the Offering Price to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. In respect of the Over-Allotment Option, the Corporation will pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 6.0% of the proceeds realized on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, or $0.075 per Common Share. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total Offering, the Underwriters’ Fee (assuming no sales to President’s List purchasers under the Offering) and the net proceeds to the Corporation (before deducting expenses of the Offering) will be approximately $23,000,000, $1,380,000 and $21,620,000, respectively. The prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Offered Shares (including the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of any Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). A purchaser who acquires Offered Shares forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those Offered Shares under the prospectus regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.

The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several (and not joint and several) and may be terminated at their discretion upon the occurrence of certain stated events. Such events include, but are not limited to: (a) any material change in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), capital of the Corporation or a change in any material fact or any new material fact, which in the opinion of an Underwriter, acting reasonably, would be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Offered Shares; (b) any event, action, state, condition or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence, including by way of COVID-19 to the extent that there are material adverse impacts related thereto after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, or any new law or regulation or a change thereof which, in the opinion of an Underwriter, acting reasonably, seriously adversely affects, or involves, or is reasonably expected to seriously adversely affect, or involve, financial markets in Canada or the United States generally or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation; or (c) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) or any order or ruling is issued under or pursuant to any statute of Canada or the United States or of any province or territory of Canada, or state of the United States (including, without limitation, the Canadian securities commissions or the TSX), which in the reasonable opinion of an Underwriter would be expected to operate to prevent or restrict trading in the Corporation’s securities or distribution of the Offered Shares or seriously adversely affects or will seriously adversely affect the financial markets or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation.

  • 10 -

If one or more of the Underwriters fails to purchase its allotment of the Offered Shares that it has agreed to purchase pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (a “ Defaulting Underwriter ”) and the percentage of Offered Shares that have not been purchased by the Defaulting Underwriter represents 10% or less of the Offered Shares, the other Underwriters will be severally, and not jointly and severally, obligated to purchase, on a pro rata basis to its respective percentage pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, all but not less than all of the Offered Shares not purchased by such Defaulting Underwriter, and to receive such Defaulting Underwriter’s portion of the Underwriting Fee in respect thereof. If the percentage of Offered Shares that have not been purchased by a Defaulting Underwriter represents more than 10% of the aggregate Offered Shares, the other Underwriters may, but will not be obligated to, purchase all of the percentage of the Offered Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the Defaulting Underwriter. The Underwriter exercising such right will purchase such Offered Shares, if applicable, pro rata to its respective percentage pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or in such other proportions as the Defaulting Underwriter may otherwise agree. In the event that such right is not exercised, the non-Defaulting Underwriters shall be relieved of all obligations to the Corporation arising from such default. The Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Corporation will indemnify the Underwriters and their directors, officers, agents, shareholders and employees against certain liabilities and expenses.

It is expected that the Closing Date will occur on or about November 24, 2021, or such earlier or later date as the Corporation and Underwriters may agree.

The Corporation has been advised by the Underwriters that, in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those that might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price specified herein. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the price specified, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling prices to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the Offered Shares remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation or the fees payable by the Corporation to the Underwriters in connection with the Offering. The compensation realized by the Underwriters in the event of such reduction will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Offered Shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation.

The Common Shares are currently listed on the TSX under the symbol “CUB”. The Corporation has applied to list the Offered Shares (including the Offered Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment) on the TSX. Closing of the Offering is conditional on the Offered Shares being conditionally approved for listing on the TSX.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation will not without the prior written consent of the Joint Bookrunners (not to be unreasonably withheld) on behalf of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly, offer, issue, sell, grant, secure, pledge, or otherwise transfer, dispose of or monetize, or engage in any hedging transaction, or enter into any form of agreement or arrangement the consequence of which is to alter economic exposure to, or announce any intention to do so, in any manner whatsoever, any Common Shares or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise exercisable to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise exercisable to acquire Common Shares or other equity securities of the Corporation for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, except, as applicable in the case of the Corporation or the applicable person, in conjunction with: (i) the grant of stock options and other similar issuances pursuant to the share incentive plan of the Corporation and other share compensation arrangements, provided that the exercise price thereof shall not be less than the Offering Price; (ii) the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants; (iii) the issuance of securities by the Corporation in connection with acquisitions in the normal course of business; or (iv) pursuant to obligations in respect of existing agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation’s directors and officers will enter into lock-up agreements evidencing their agreement to not, without the consent of the Joint Bookrunners, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, offer, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by them or agree to or announce any such offer, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposal for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, other than (i) selling securities in connection with the exercise of options; and (ii) in order to accept a bona fide take-over bid made to all securityholders of the Corporation or similar business combination.

Subscriptions for Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. Except in certain limited circumstances: (a) the Offered Shares will be registered and represented electronically through the non-certificated inventory of CDS or its nominee pursuant to the bookbased system administered by CDS; (b) certificates evidencing the Offered Shares will not be issued to purchasers; and (c) purchasers will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriter or other registered dealer who is a Participant and from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Offered Shares are purchased.

  • 11 -

Beneficial interests in Offered Shares may be represented solely through a non-certificated position which will be evidenced by customer confirmations of purchase from the registered dealer from which the Common Shares are purchased in accordance with the practices and procedures of that registered dealer. In addition, registration of interests in and transfers of Offered Shares will be made only through the depository service of CDS. Beneficial owners of Offered Shares should be aware that they (subject to the situations described below): (a) may not have Offered Shares registered in their name; (b) will not have physical certificates representing their interest in the Offered Shares; (c) may not be able to sell the Offered Shares to institutions required by law to hold physical certificates for securities they own; and (d) may be unable to pledge Offered Shares as security. Beneficial owners of Offered Shares will receive a physical share certificate only if required to do so by applicable law; or CDS advises the Corporation’s transfer agent that CDS is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Offered Shares and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor.

Neither the Corporation nor any of the Underwriters will assume any liability for: (a) any aspect of the records relating to the beneficial ownership of the Common Shares held by CDS or any payments relating thereto; (b) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the Common Shares; or (c) any advice or representation made by or with respect to CDS and contained in this short form prospectus and relating to the rules governing CDS or any action to be taken by CDS or at the direction of a Participant. The rules governing CDS provide that it acts as the agent and depository for the Participants. As a result, Participants must look solely to CDS and beneficial owners of Common Shares must look solely to Participants for any payments relating to the Common Shares paid by or on the Corporation’s behalf to CDS.

The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold within the United States except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Underwriting Agreement permits the Underwriters, through their United States registered broker-dealer affiliates, to offer and sell the Offered Shares in the United States to “qualified institutional buyers” (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act) in transactions in accordance with Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and exemptions under applicable state securities laws. Moreover, the Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters will offer and sell the Offered Shares outside the United States only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. Neither this prospectus supplement, nor the prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Offered Shares in the United States. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the Offering, an offer or sale of the Common Shares offered under this short form prospectus within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the Offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

Arctic Securities LLC acted as Global Advisor of the Corporation in connection with the Offering.

The business objectives that CubicFarms expects to accomplish using the net proceeds of the Offering, together with existing cash and cash equivalents, are increased sales to new and existing customers, in addition to expansion into new markets. In order to achieve its business objectives, the Corporation believes that it must continue developing its business as described in the AIF, including under “ Description of the Business – Milestones and Success ” therein.

The major components of the research and development work expected to be funded by the net proceeds of the Offering will be focused on improved automation, mechanization and efficiency of the Corporation’s products, as well as increased crop varieties available to CubicFarms’ customers and the development of new products (collectively, the “ Product Improvements ”). The Product Improvements are at a preliminary stage and, accordingly, the costs and timing of the Product Improvements reaching commercial production cannot be estimated as at the date of this prospectus supplement. The Corporation conducts its research and development using primarily its own full-time staff.

Management of the Corporation will retain broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds of the Offering and the Corporation’s actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on the availability and suitability of investment opportunities and its operating and capital needs from time to time. All expenses relating to the Offering and any compensation paid to Underwriters will be paid out of the proceeds of the Offering. See “ Risk Factors – Discretion to Use Capital Resources Other Than as Specified in this Prospectus Supplement ”.

The Corporation’s intended use of proceeds accounts for the impacts and effects of COVID-19 that are currently known. Future developments, which the Corporation cannot currently predict, may require the Corporation to adjust, delay or postpone, either temporarily or permanently, any intended use of proceeds. New or revised directives of various levels of the Canadian and international governments and public health authorities in such jurisdictions, the status of labour or equipment availability and the ability to staff facilities, are all factors that could have an adverse impact on the Corporation’s plans. See “ Risk Factors – Risks Arising from the Current COVID-19 Pandemic ”.

On May 13, 2020, the Corporation completed a private placement whereby the Corporation issued and sold 21,739,130 Common Shares to Ospraie Ag Science, LLC at a price of $0.23 per share for aggregate consideration of $5,000,000 (the “ Ospraie Financing ”). On July 23, 2020, the Corporation completed a private placement pursuant to which it issued and sold an aggregate of 1,659,600 Common Shares to certain subscribers at a price of $0.70 per share for aggregate consideration of $1,161,720 (the “ Private Placement ”). On August 28, 2020, the Corporation completed the BDC Financing. On December 15, 2020, the Corporation closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $175,500. On December 21, 2020, the Corporation closed the December 2020 Financing. On June 3, 2021 the Corporation closed the May 2021 Financing (together with the April 2021 Private Placement, Ospraie Financing, the Private Placement and the BDC Financing, the “ Financings ”). As at the date of this prospectus supplement, there has not been any material variance between the Corporation’s actual use of proceeds from the Financings and the previously disclosed use thereof, being research and development to expand machine capabilities and crop varieties, sales and marketing and working capital.

The Corporation has had a history of losses and had negative operating cash flow for its most recent interim financial period ended September 30, 2021 and the transition year ended December 31, 2020. Management expects that the Corporation’s existing cash and cash equivalents balance will be adequate to meet the Corporation’s expansion of facilities and operational activities in the near term. However, the Corporation may seek additional financings through the issuance of debt or equity to support further expansion and research and development activities and seek additional non-dilutive government grants and subsidies that are available. The Corporation may, however, be required to use some or all of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund its cash working capital requirements and negative cash flows. See “ Risk Factors – Negative Cash Flow from Operations ”.

RISK FACTORS

Risk factors relating to the Corporation’s business are discussed in the AIF and certain other documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the prospectus, which risk factors are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

An investment in the Common Shares offered hereby involves a high degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative due to the nature of CubicFarms’ business. Information regarding the risks affecting CubicFarms and its business is provided in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in the prospectus, including in the AIF under the heading “ Risk Factors ”. See “ Documents Incorporated by Reference ”. In addition, prospective purchasers should carefully consider, in light of their own financial circumstances, the risk factors set out below which relate to the Corporation and an investment in its securities, as well as the other information contained in the prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and in all subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, before making an investment decision.

The risks described in this this prospectus supplement, and the prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein, are not the only risks facing the Corporation. Prospective purchasers of Offered Shares should consider carefully such risk factors, as well as the other information contained herein and therein before purchasing Offered Shares. If any event arising from these risks occurs, the Corporation’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or your investment in the Offered Shares could be materially adversely affected. Purchasers could lose all or part of their investment in the Offered Shares.

Risks Arising from the Current COVID-19 Pandemic

Global or national health concerns, including the outbreak of pandemic or contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 (coronavirus), may adversely affect the Corporation. The Corporation’s business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises. In December 2019, COVID19, a novel strain of coronavirus, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak a global health emergency and on March 11, 2020, the WHO expanded its classification of COVID-19 to a worldwide pandemic and federal, provincial and municipal governments in Canada have enacted measures to combat the spread of COVID-19.

The Corporation expects to experience some short to medium term negative impacts from the COVID-19 outbreak; the extent of such impacts is currently unquantifiable, but may be significant. Such impacts include, with respect to its operations, increased suppliers’ operations and its customers’ operations inquiries, mandated social distancing, isolation and/or quarantines, impacts of declared states of emergency, public health emergency and similar declarations and could include other increased government regulations, a material reduction in demand for the Corporation’s products and services, reduced sales, higher costs for new capital, licencing and permitting delays, increased operating expenses, delayed performance of contractual obligations, and potential supply shortages, all of which are expected to negatively impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation and thus may impact the ability of the Corporation to comply with financial covenants, and its ability satisfy its obligations to its lenders and other parties, which in turn may adversely impact, among other things, the ability of the Corporation to access debt or equity capital on acceptable terms or at all.

The risks to the Corporation of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in the Corporation’s facilities. Should an employee or visitor in any of the Corporation’s

  • 14 -

facilities become infected with a serious illness that has the potential to spread rapidly, this could place the Corporation’s workforce at risk. The 2020 outbreak of COVID-19 is one example of such an illness. The Corporation takes every precaution to strictly follow industrial hygiene and occupational health guidelines and applicable health authority recommendations.

Price Volatility of Common Shares

The market price of the Common Shares has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to large fluctuations which may result in losses for investors. The market price of the Common Shares may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including:

  • CubicFarms’ operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar entities;

  • the public’s reaction to CubicFarms’ press releases, other public announcements and filings with the various securities regulatory authorities;

  • changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track CubicFarms’ securities;

  • the operating and share price performance of other entities that investors may deem comparable;

  • changes in general economic and/or political conditions;

  • the arrival or departure of key personnel; and

  • acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving CubicFarms or its competitors.

In addition, the market price of the Common Shares is affected by many variables not directly related to the success of CubicFarms and not within CubicFarms’ control, including other developments that affect the market for all industrial sector securities or the equity markets generally, the breadth of the public market for the Common Shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments. These variables may adversely affect the prices of the Common Shares regardless of CubicFarms’ operating performance.

Negative Cash Flow from Operations

The Corporation had negative operating cash flows for the transition year ended December 31, 2020. Although the Corporation anticipates it will have positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods, the Corporation cannot guarantee it will have a cash flow positive status in the future. To the extent that the Corporation has negative cash flow in any future period, certain of the proceeds from the Offering may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities. The Corporation may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and may continue to incur significant losses in the future. In addition, the Corporation expects to continue to increase operating expenses as it implements initiatives to continue to grow its business. If the Corporation’s revenues do not increase to offset its costs and operating expenses or if the Corporation is unable to raise financing to fund capital or operating expenditures or acquisitions, it could limit its growth and may have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation’s business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or prospects.

Discretion to Use Capital Resources Other Than as Specified in this Prospectus Supplement

CubicFarms currently intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering and CubicFarms’ working capital, together with future cash flows from operations and borrowings, if required, to accomplish the business objectives set out under “ Use of Proceeds ” and in the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. However, the Board and/or management will have discretion in the actual application of CubicFarms’ capital resources and may elect to allocate proceeds differently from that described under “ Use of Proceeds ” if they believe it would be in CubicFarms’ best interests to do so. Shareholders may not agree with the manner in which the Board and/or management choose to allocate and spend CubicFarms’ capital resources. The failure by the Board and/or management to apply CubicFarms’ capital resources effectively could have a material adverse effect on the development of CubicFarms’ projects and CubicFarms’ business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Corporation’s Success Will Depend on Making Significant Capital Investments

The Corporation has made and expects to make in the future substantial capital investments in its business and operations. Historically, the Corporation has financed capital investments primarily with the issuance of equity and debt securities and borrowings under various lending arrangements. The Corporation intends to finance its future capital investments primarily through future cash flows from operations, through borrowings under various lending arrangements, the proceeds from the

  • 15 -

Offering and the global capital markets; however these sources may not be sufficient to fund the Corporation’s business objectives set out under “ Use of Proceeds ” and in the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein.

The Corporation may not have sufficient capital resources to undertake its future capital investments in its business and operations. As such, the Corporation may require additional financing that cannot be satisfied from future cash flows from operations. There is a risk that if the economy and banking industry experiences unexpected and/or prolonged deterioration, the Corporation’s access to additional financing may be affected. Because of global economic volatility, the Corporation may from time to time have restricted access to capital and increased borrowing costs. Failure to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Corporation to miss certain acquisition opportunities and reduce or terminate its operations. If the Corporation’s revenues decrease as a result of lower sales, operating difficulties or otherwise, it will affect the Corporation’s ability to obtain the necessary capital to fund the Corporation’s plans set out under “ Use of Proceeds ” and in the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. To the extent that external sources of capital become limited, unavailable, or available only on onerous terms, the Corporation’s ability to make capital investments and maintain existing assets may be impaired, and its assets, liabilities, business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result. Additionally, there can be no assurance that additional debt or equity financing will be available to meet these requirements on favourable terms or at all and any equity financing may result in a change of control of the Corporation.

Future Sales or Issuances of Securities of CubicFarms

The Corporation may issue additional securities to finance future activities outside of the Offering. The Corporation cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares, or the expectation that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Shares. In connection with any issuance of Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and CubicFarms may experience dilution in its earnings per share.

Payment of Future Dividends

The declaration and future payment of dividends is at the sole discretion of the Board, and is subject to and dependent upon, among other things, the financial condition of, and outlook for CubicFarms, general business conditions, satisfaction of all applicable legal and regulatory restrictions regarding the payment of dividends by CubicFarms and CubicFarms’ cash flow and financing needs. To date, CubicFarms has not paid any dividends on its Common Shares and it is unlikely it will do so in the foreseeable future.

Operational Dependence

The successful operation of CubicFarms is dependent on third parties. Loss of any third party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors may have a material adverse effect on CubicFarms’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, any significant interruption, negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain or increase in the prices for the products or services provided by any such third party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors could materially impact CubicFarms’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on CubicFarms’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Third Party Transportation

In order for customers of CubicFarms to receive their product, CubicFarms must rely on third party transportation services. This can cause logistical problems with and delays in customers obtaining their orders and cannot be directly controlled by CubicFarms. Any delay by third party transportation services may adversely affect CubicFarms’ financial performance.

Inability to Enforce Judgments Against Foreign Persons

Certain of the directors of the Corporation reside outside of Canada. Although such persons have appointed the Corporation as their agents for service of process in Canada, it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against such persons. See “ Enforcement of Judgments Against Foreign Persons or Corporations ”.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ Tax Act ”) and the regulations

  • 16 -

thereunder, in force as of the date hereof, the Offered Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for trusts governed by a “registered retirement savings plan” (“ RRSP ”), “registered retirement income fund” (“ RRIF ”), “registered education savings plan” (“ RESP ”), “registered disability savings plan” (“ RDSP ”), “deferred profit sharing plan” and “tax-free savings account” (“ TFSA ”), as those terms are defined in the Tax Act (collectively referred to as “ Registered Plans ”), provided that the Common Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX).

Notwithstanding that the Offered Shares may be a qualified investment for an RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP or TFSA as discussed above, if the Offered Shares are a “prohibited investment” for the purposes of the Tax Act, the particular Registered Plan, the holder of a RDSP or TFSA, the subscriber of a RESP or the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF which holds such Offered Shares will be subject to penalty taxes as set out in the Tax Act. The Offered Shares will be a prohibited investment for a RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP or TFSA if the holder, subscriber or annuitant, as the case may be, does not deal at arm’s length with the Corporation for the purposes of the Tax Act or has a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the prohibited investment rules) in the Corporation. However, the Offered Shares will not be a “prohibited investment” if such securities are “excluded property” (as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the prohibited investment rules) for trusts governed by such RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP or TFSA.

Prospective investors who intend to hold Offered Shares in an RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP or a TFSA should consult their own tax advisors as to whether such securities will be prohibited investments in their particular circumstances.

Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person who resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province.

The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
