Exhibit 99.2
SUNOPTA INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On October 12, 2023, SunOpta Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with Natures Touch Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Nature's Touch Frozen Fruits, LLC (the "Purchasers") to sell to the Purchasers certain assets and liabilities of the Company's frozen fruit business ("Frozen Fruit") for an aggregate purchase price of $141 million, subject to closing working capital adjustments (the "Transaction"). The aggregate purchase price is inclusive of $20.0 million of seller promissory notes due in three years (the "Seller Financing"). On October 12, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the Transaction in accordance with the terms of the APA. The Transaction represents the Company's exit from the processing, packaging and selling of individually quick frozen fruit for retail, foodservice and industrial applications. Included with the Transaction are owned facilities of Frozen Fruit located in Edwardsville, Kansas, and Jacona, Mexico. A third leased facility of Frozen Fruit, located in Oxnard, California, is not included as part of the Transaction, but primary operations concluded at the facility as of the Closing Date.
The divestiture of Frozen Fruit completes the Company's strategic optimization plan for its non-core commodity-based businesses, which included the divestitures of its sunflower business ("Sunflower") in October 2022 and its global ingredients business, Tradin Organic, in December 2020, in order to focus on value-add products in plant-based and healthy snack categories. Tradin Organic was reported as a discontinued operation beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020. With the Transaction, Frozen Fruit met the held for sale criteria as at September 30, 2023 and, together with Sunflower, qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") beginning in the third quarter of 2023.
The Transaction is considered a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2023, and the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the two quarters ended July 1, 2023, included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 1, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the two quarters ended July 1, 2023, and each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, are presented as if the Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as at July 1, 2023, is presented as if the Transaction had occurred on July 1, 2023.
The pro forma adjustments included in the Frozen Fruit and Sunflower columns of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the guidance for discontinued operations under U.S. GAAP. The amounts reflected in these columns are preliminary and could change as the Company finalizes its accounting for discontinued operations to be reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 and in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023. Other pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are directly attributable to the Transaction and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any management adjustments permitted under Article 11 of Regulation S-X to reflect potential synergies or cost savings that may be achievable or dis-synergies or incremental costs that may be incurred as a result of the Transaction.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the Transaction been consummated on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should not be construed as being representative of the Company's future results of operations or financial position. The actual results of operations and financial position may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.

The Seller Financing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"), plus a margin of 4.00% for the first year and 7.00% for the second and third years. Interest is payable quarterly in-kind. The Seller Financing matures on October 12, 2026, and outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is payable on the maturity date. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value of the Seller Financing is assumed to be equal to the stated principal amount of $20.0 million and the stated interest rate was determined based on SOFR as at the Closing Date plus the applicable margin in each of the three years ended December 31, 2022. The incremental income tax expense on the Seller Financing reflects the applicable historical statutory rates in effect for the periods presented.
(c) The Frozen Fruit column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the elimination of the assets, liabilities, and accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to the Transaction, measured as at July 1, 2023.
(d) The Aggregate Purchase Price column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the estimated aggregate purchase price of the Transaction measured as at July 1, 2023, net of estimated closing costs, and the required repayment of certain bank loans and other liabilities of Frozen Fruit not assumed by the Purchasers. The estimated aggregate purchase price does not reflect any pre-closing adjustments based on the results of operations and changes in financial position of Frozen Fruit from July 1, 2023 to the Closing Date.
(e) Reflects the estimated net cash proceeds from the Transaction of $67.1 million measured as at July 1, 2023, reflecting deductions for estimated closing costs and the required repayment of certain bank loans and other liabilities of Frozen Fruit not assumed by the Purchasers. The Company intends to utilize the net cash proceeds from the Transaction to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolving credit facilities. The repayment of revolver borrowings, including any associated future cash interest savings, have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as the repayment is not considered directly attributable to the Transaction.
(f) The change in accumulated deficit reflects the estimated loss on the Transaction of $120.6 million measured as at July 1, 2023, reflecting the difference between the estimated aggregate purchase price, net of estimated closing costs, and the historical carrying value of the net assets of Frozen Fruit attributable to the Transaction. The final determination of the loss on the Transaction as of the Closing Date is subject to the finalization of the closing balance sheet of Frozen Fruit, the completion of a fair value assessment of the Seller Financing, and adjustments to closing costs related to the Transaction. Accordingly, the estimated loss on the Transaction as at July 1, 2023, is preliminary and presented solely for informational purposes. The final loss recognized could be higher or lower than the preliminary estimate.
