It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Leo cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Leo cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

Demonstrates company’s commitment to sustainability, with a mission-based business model and strategy that supports multiple UN goals and principles for a responsible business.

Hamilton, MT – September 27, 2021 – Breakthrough U.S. indoor agriculture company Local Bounti Corporation (“Local Bounti”) is pleased to announce that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact — the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, with a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. With this announcement, Local Bounti has become one of the first U.S. based Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) companies to participate in the initiative, joining thousands of other companies globally that are committed to taking action to build a better world.

The UN Global Compact is a call to companies worldwide to align their operations and strategies with 10 universally-accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Launched in 2000, the initiative includes more than 9,500 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries and spanning more than 70 local networks. Notably, just 799 participants are based in the U.S., with only 21 of those in the food production sector along with Local Bounti.

A CEA leader, Local Bounti is focused on dramatically increasing produce shelf life, reducing waste and emissions, and addressing the availability of high-quality produce in local communities. The company’s sustainably-grown produce is cultivated locally, reducing food miles – the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the current produce supply chain – and creating year-around employment opportunities for local agriculture workers.

“In line with our commitment to the UN Global Compact principles, Local Bounti is proud to be one of the first U.S. based CEA participants to Turn a New Leaf™ in this critical mission to better the world and continue to bring ESG leadership to the quickly growing AgTech industry,” said Craig Hurlbert, co-CEO of Local Bounti. “Every aspect of our company is focused on sustainability, corporate responsibility and optimizing the health of families, communities and the planet, and we are proud to put the UN’s platform into practice each day while serving as a role model for other food production companies.”

Local Bounti’s profile and sustainability practices can be found on the UN Global Compact website at https://www.unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/147863-Local-Bounti.

Local Bounti estimates that the total U.S. market for herbs and vegetables is anticipated to reach $30 billion by 2025, with less than one percent of leafy greens being grown indoors today.

Capital to support Local Bounti’s plans to serve a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity transforming the production and delivery of local, fresh and sustainably-grown leafy greens produce across the U.S.

Hamilton, MT – September 7, 2021 – Breakthrough U.S. indoor agriculture company Local Bounti Corporation (“Local Bounti”), today announced that it has closed a previously announced $200 million debt financing facility with Cargill Financial Services International, Inc. (“Cargill”), which is also a recent strategic investor in Local Bounti. Cargill is demonstrating significant support in the future of Local Bounti by investing as both a lender and an investor in the PIPE financing contemplated in connection with Local Bounti’s proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Leo Holdings III Corp. (NYSE: LIII) (“Leo”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. Local Bounti is an emerging leader in controlled environment agriculture advancing the production and delivery of local, fresh and sustainably-grown leafy greens produce for consumers across the U.S. with an initial focus on the Western U.S. In addition to closing on the debt financing facility to cover the cost of several planned greenhouse facilities, Cargill has also expressed interest in financing the construction of all of Local Bounti’s planned future indoor farming facilities in the United States through 2025.

“Local Bounti and Cargill share a commitment to delivering farm to fork options for consumers while sustaining the land, not only for today but for generations of farmers to come,” said Ross Jennings, head of Cargill’s Trade and Capital Markets business. “As we look to advance sustainable agriculture practices, it was a natural and exciting fit to finance the construction of Local Bounti’s innovative and sustainable greenhouses.”

“In all four corners of our business, we strive to secure the best partners to help ensure our success. Cargill, as a global leader in the agricultural sector, is a great example of this,” said Local Bounti Co-Founder and Co-CEO Craig Hurlbert. “Cargill’s financial support will help us fast-track the build out of strategically located facilities that showcase our patent pending Stack & Flow Technology™ which produces superior unit economics with high yield and low-cost operations. As we pioneer a new chapter in sustainable agriculture, we are challenging the way food is produced and delivered. The consumer benefits by enjoying delicious, locally grown, longer-lasting fresh produce, and the planet benefits because we use 90% less land and water, AND no herbicides or pesticides. It’s time to turn a new leaf!” said Hurlbert.

Leveraging its innovative proprietary modular and scalable building system, which is designed to easily and efficiently replicate its proven indoor farm model, Local Bounti is currently undergoing expansion to increase the capacity of its flagship facility in Hamilton, Montana, by approximately 140 percent. This expansion is expected to be completed and operational by the fourth quarter of 2021, and the company plans to break ground on additional facilities before the end of this year, with a total of seven additional facilities planned to be built in the Western U.S. by the end of 2025.

Local Bounti estimates that the total U.S. market for herbs and vegetables is anticipated to reach $30 billion by 2025, with less than 1% of that grown indoors today.
