Good Natured Products Inc (GDNP) 銘柄情報

announced today ....Canadian government to soon make new guidelines for % of plastics that must be recyclable in takeout containers..... been patiently waiting for this......

Huge potential if they do the right things, great future growth market

I’m still in this, just not too much going on.

This stock has gone quiet on here...

Good concept

A lot of questions

Concerns over directors and management not having a finger on the pulse and looking to acquire for sales growth versus filling in the many gaps in the product line.

Who are their Fast Food National accounts?

What do they offer for straws and every other item needed?

They are riding the food delivery growth, Can they compete with imports coming in from around the world long term?


Their marketing is lacking.

Could have great potential but this is a wait and see, nothing big on the horizon and nothing to address concerns, they do have an investor call on Thursday

Hope so! Still down $0.15 on this one

2.00 by friday!!

good natured Products Inc. Announces Closing of its $23.1 Million Bought Deal Offering & Debt Retirement - 03/04/2021 8:31:00 AM


/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./


VANCOUVER, BC, March 4, 2021 /CNW/ - good natured Products Inc. (the "Company" or "good natured®") (TSXV: GDNP), a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based products, today announced that it has closed its previously announced bought deal short form prospectus offering of common shares of the Company (the "Offering"). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 19,262,500 common shares in capital of the Company (the "Offered Shares") at an issue price of $1.20 per common share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $23,115,000.

The over-allotment option granted by the Company to the Underwriters to acquire up to 15% of the Offered Shares at the Issue Price exercisable in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering (the "Over-Allotment Option") was exercised concurrently with the closing of the Offering. The issuance of the 19,262,500 Offered Shares includes the 2,512,500 Offered Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

Beacon Securities Limited ("Beacon") and Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as co-lead underwriters and co-bookrunners in connection with the Offering on behalf of a syndicate including Integral Wealth Securities Limited, Raymond James Ltd., and Paradigm Capital Inc. (the "Underwriters").

The Underwriters received a cash commission of $1,386,900 representing 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering; and 1,155,750 compensation options (the "Compensation Options") representing 6.0% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares issued pursuant to the Offering. Each Compensation Option shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Offered Share at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the date hereof.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used by the Company for potential future acquisitions, general working capital purposes, and capital expansion projects.

Insiders of the Company subscribed for a total of 41,200 Offered Shares for total gross proceeds of $49,440 under the Offering. Participation by insiders constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Offered Shares issued to such related parties nor the consideration paid by such related parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of insiders of the Company had not been confirmed at that time. Further details will be provided in a material change report to be filed by the Company subsequent to the dissemination of this press release.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "US Securities Act") or any states securities laws. They may not be offered or sold within the United States or to US Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act) unless registered under the US Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Business Development Bank of Canada Debt Retirement
The Company also announced the closing of its transaction with BDC Capital inc., a subsidiary of the Business Development Bank of Canada ("BDC"), for the conversion of $2.5 million USD (at an exchange rate of $1.2753 CAD/USD, being the Bank of Canada end of day exchange rate of February 8, 2021) of the Company's existing long term credit facility into Offered Shares at the Issue Price (the "Share Settlement"). The Company issued 2,656,875 Offered Shares to BDC as part of the transaction, which increased its total ownership in good natured® to 12,323,542 Offered Shares. In addition, the Company will pay US$738,311 in cash to BDC to further reduce its outstanding debt to BDC. The Offered Shares issued to BDC pursuant to the Share Settlement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date hereof. The Company's material financing agreements with BDC can be found on its SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

"BDC has been an amazingly supportive partner since we began our partnership in June 2019 and we are very happy to have them as an even more meaningful owner of the Company," stated Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®. "The debt retirement further strengthens our ability to execute on our organic and acquisition growth strategy".

"The strong commercial success good natured® has achieved to date is a prime example of the outcome BDC has sought to enable by providing growth capital to emerging earth-friendly Canadian champions," stated Jahangir Bhatti, Director, Cleantech Practice at BDC Capital. "BDC's original financing helped facilitate the robust organic growth good natured® has delivered along with the acquisitions of Shepherd Thermoforming and Integrated Packaging Films. The debt conversion will lower the Company's debt outstanding and cash interest costs enabling more resources for future growth."

good natured Products Inc. Named a 2021 TSX Venture 50 Company
02/24/2021 9:30:00 AM

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2021) - Good natured Products Inc. (TSXV: GDNP) ("good natured®"), a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based products, is pleased to announce that it has been named a 2021 Venture 50 Company, ranked among the TSX Venture Exchange's top 50 best performing companies.

Presented by the TSX Venture Exchange, good natured® is ranked 4th in the Clean Technology & Life Sciences sector. This award recognizes the top 10 performing companies from five industry sectors which are selected based on three equally weighted criteria: market capitalization growth, share price appreciation and trading volume amount.

"We are honored to have been named a 2021 TSX Venture 50 Company winner. This award mirrors the significant achievements made by good natured® during 2020, where we completed two material acquisitions and grew the business organically through a challenging macro environment," stated Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®.

Glad I invested (relatively) plenty and early in this company developing and selling eco-friendly home and business products when environment protection is a growing worldwide preoccupation.

Notwithstanding current market cap, I believe that the current PPS can still more than double during the current year.

GDNP is a thing of beauty - serious regrets about not buying more when considerably cheaper

In its Jan. 19 NR, the company certainly sounded optimistic and generally reassuring. However, a few justifiable informations were not clearly outlined but only kind of alluded to.

Examples

‘’we remain extremely optimistic regarding our ability to achieve our strategic goals for the new year.’’ Not sure I understand what these ‘’strategic goals’’ are ???

‘’the project is poised for fast-tracked completion with commencement of operations to occur as soon as approval is received.’’ Would be nice to have a general feeling relative to what ‘’as soon as’’ really means … weeks or months ???

‘’applications for certification of Isracann as foreign cannabis cultivation license owners were submitted, which upon acceptance, will result in Isracann’s ability to formally complete any remaining aspects of our joint venture acquisition.’’ Not sure I understand what these ‘’remaining aspects of our joint venture acquisition’’ refer to ???

‘’we look forward to ‘’announcing further details outlining our expanded strategic outlook for the coming year’’ as soon as possible.’’ Again, in what scale should a shareholder evaluate the meaning of ‘’as soon as possible’’, weeks or months ???

Would be nice if, remaining professionally responsible, the company could give the shareholders and the market a better defined context of their optimism.

Took a small position (3,000 X $1,33) in here this morning. Will se how it performs before I commit more into this.

This thing is gold. I wish I picked up more before it started getting so much attention

Too rich for my blood now..lol


NEXE...have a look at that one..been following it since it made it's debut a month or so ago at .80

Yes, things are heating up... I wonder when people will start noticing this one more...

Additionally, in the same stock category, you should check out DNMR -

Certified Marine Biodegradable plastic. This one has already been noticed and is heating up fast with a market cap of around 3 Billion. Way above any logical sales ratio, but it is arguably more disruptive than GDNP. Has contracts with Pepsi and Nestle lined up...

The two seem like a nice pairing.

Nice move today...been expecting this..financials and other info from the company are solid....time to start a move up to reflect proper valuation!

Better Bites Bakery, established in 2011 out of a home kitchen in Austin has rapidly grown to become a household name. Following the founder's discovery of her son's allergies, Leah Lopez set out to manufacture delicious plant-based treats that are free from the most common allergens including gluten, eggs and dairy. Today, Better Bites Bakery has a total of 13 products from bite-sized cake bites to single serve cupcakes, that are nationally distributed to some of America's leading grocery retailers including Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Super Target, Costco and H-E-B.

For Better Bites Bakery, a business founded out of concerns for health and where ingredients have the utmost critical importance, good natured(R) packaging was a natural fit to extend the focus on plant-based ingredients all the way through to the packaging.

"By making the switch to good natured(R) packaging, we're able to provide our customers with the assurance that our plant-based products are complemented by our commitment to plant based packaging," said Leah Lopez, Founder & CEO of Better Bites Bakery. "The team at good natured(R) made the switch possible by customizing designs for our specific packing and transportation requirements, and I know our customers are going to be super excited to know we've made the change to plant-based packaging."

Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured(R) added: "We've been very excited to work together with companies like Better Bites Bakery, who are proactively switching to packaging made from renewable materials that are better for our health and the environment. Our ability to design and produce custom packaging makes it easy and affordable for customers with specialised packaging needs to access the latest in packaging innovations that can't be met with off-the-shelf solutions."

About Better Bites Bakery

Better Bites Bakery was established in 2011 by Leah Lopez who, when her son was just 2 years old, discovered he had life-threatening food allergies. From that moment forward, Leah started making "Better Bites" in her home kitchen so her family could enjoy allergen-free desserts together.

Better Bites Bakery's mission is to bring people together by providing delicious, plant-based treats that are free from the top 8 allergens, because celebrations and special occasions are always sweeter when everyone enjoys what's on the table.

Well..2nd half of the day wasn't all that bad!

That was an artificial pump...gave everything back today.....on the US side.....complete market manipulation and it goes on each and every day and nothing is done about it...Just a bunch of lame lip service from the regulators.

Cool!

US counterpart SLGBF is up 32% today and its volume is 5x above the average suggesting that tomorrow will have the same spike for GDNP. The strong volume is also suggesting that the stock could start to trend up further.

Canadian Markets closed today as it is a stat holiday here.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/good-natured-products-cve-gdnp-102854756.html

Juicy opportunity here in my opinion. Look at the growth in clean energy stocks - plastic alternatives still has not caught on. It will though given the increasing focus on sustainability. The growth over the last year from this company is incredible. There has got to be a better way than single use plastics, and this gdnp seems to be an emerging leader
