Vancouver, BC, Canada, April 16, 2026 – Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V: OGO, OTCQXC: OGOFF, FSE: OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that its European foods operations has expanded its financing facility with Netherlands based COÖPERATIEVE RABOBANK U.A. (“Rabobank”), to support the growth of the Company’s business.
“We are extremely pleased to have expanded these facilities with Rabobank, a premier bank who has deep roots in the agricultural and foods sectors and our key operational financing partner. We have experienced significant growth in our business as we serve fast-growing healthy eating and healthy living markets, and we believe there are additional significant opportunities to further accelerate this growth into the future. We’ve expanded our commercial relationships, supply depth, and operational infrastructure over the past year to support continued growth. This is now translating into tangible results, as we are now realizing weekly sales in the range of approximately CDN $2 million, reflecting an annual sales run rate of approximately CDN $100 million. With this growth comes the need for expanded operational financing facilities, and today we are pleased to announce the expansion of these facilities. This expanded facility will help fund our increasing business, and together with our current strengthened balance sheet, further positions our Company for continued growth.” commented Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Organto Foods Inc.
The new financing facility increases the existing €4 million flexible financial funding facility to €7 million. Utilization is based on a percentage of qualified accounts receivable, with potential for additional expansion as the Company’s business grows further. The facility expires November 2027 at which time it will renew for one year. Upon each subsequent expiry the facility will automatically renew again for an additional year unless terminated by either party with three months’ notice. Any funds borrowed will bear interest at the one-month EURIBOR rate plus a pre-established margin and a standby fee will be charged on the average unused portion of the facility. As collateral against any borrowed funds, the Company will deposit a total of €630,000 into an interest-bearing account with Rabobank
