**** IMPORTANT REMINDER ****

July 18, 2024

 

Dear Whole Earth Brands Stockholder:

 

You are receiving this letter because we have not yet received your vote in connection with the special meeting of stockholders to be on July 31, 2024 to approve the merger with Ozark Holdings, LLC and Sweet Oak Merger Sub, LLC

 

•	If the merger is approved, you will receive $4.875 in cash for each share that you own.

 

•	If you do not vote, it has the same effect as a vote Against the merger.

 

•	The Whole Earth Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and following the recusal of Mr. Franklin, unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the merger.

 

Your vote is extremely important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own.

 

PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES TODAY.

 

Instructions on how to vote over the telephone or Internet are enclosed with this letter. It is quick and easy. Alternatively, you may sign and return the enclosed voting instruction form in the envelope provided
