ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On March 18, 2015, Horst Hueniken submitted his resignation as
the Chief Financial Officer of Urban Barns Foods Inc. (the Company). Mr.
Huenikens resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company
regarding its operations, policies, practices or otherwise, and he will continue
to serve as the Companys Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors.
On March 18, 2015, the Company appointed Hugh Blakely as its
Director of Finance to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Huenikens resignation. Mr.
Blakely, age 64, is a senior financial executive with extensive experience in
finance, operations and general management in North America, South America and
Russia, and will serve as the Companys principal financial officer. His areas
of expertise include mergers and acquisitions, treasury management, financial
reporting and corporate governance.
Mr. Blakely was most recently the Controller at Novacap, a
successful Montreal-based private equity group with $1.2B in assets under
management, where he was responsible for the preparation of all internal
financial statements and reports including the presentation of financial results

Blakely acted as the Controller for White Tiger Gold Ltd., a company formerly
listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the CFO for Century Mining
Corporation, a company formerly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, where he was
responsible for the preparation of all internal and external financial
statements and reports including the presentation of financial results to their
respective audit committees and Board of Directors. In those roles, Mr. Blakely
also prepared and managed detailed annual operating budgets and monitored the
use of corporate funds through cash budgeting and daily cash reports. Prior to
working at Century Mining, he served as the Senior Vice-President and CFO for
IVACO, a Heico company, and IVACO Inc., a leading North American producer of
steel and fabricated steel products.
Mr. Blakely is a Chartered Accountant with an understanding of
public company reporting and disclosure requirements in the United States and
Canada, and has spent his career focusing on mining, manufacturing and growth
stage companies.
There are no family relationships between Mr. Blakely and any
director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Company to
become a director or executive officer. The Company has not entered into any
material plan, contract or arrangement with Mr. Blakely relating to his services
as the Director of Finance.
