Over the past year, we have remained focused on executing our strategic vision while taking meaningful steps to improve operational efficiency and strengthen our foundation for sustainable growth. Most recently, we completed a significant logistics transformation across the Metro New York market, transitioning from a traditional Direct Store Delivery (DSD) network to a more efficient direct-to-distribution-center and regional distribution model.  The strategic initiative is expected to generate meaningful cost savings while advancing our sustainability objectives. By leveraging the established distribution infrastructure of our retail partners, Edible Garden anticipates reducing transportation-related expenses, including fuel, labor, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and fleet costs. At the same time, this transition is expected to significantly lower transportation-related carbon emissions. We believe these improvements will support stronger margins, enhance operational performance, and better position Edible Garden for long-term profitable growth. As we continue to execute on these initiatives and pursue opportunities to create value, your support remains critically important. Your vote matters. Regardless of the number of shares you own, we strongly encourage you to vote your shares today. Every vote is important and helps ensure that your voice is represented at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee, please remember that your broker cannot vote your shares on these proposals without your instructions. After careful consideration, Edible Garden’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” all proposals presented in the proxy statement. If you have already voted, thank you for your participation and support. If you have not yet voted, we respectfully encourage you to do so as soon as possible. For assistance voting your shares, or if you have any questions regarding the proxy, please contact: Advantage Proxy, Inc.
