Effective November 19, 2018, Neha Clark, Lifeway’s Chief
Financial Officer, has departed Lifeway to pursue another business opportunity. Ms. Clark’s departure was not a result of
any disagreement with Lifeway on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.
Effective November 19, 2018, Lifeway has appointed Eric Hanson,
43, its Chief Accounting Officer, to the additional position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Hanson has served as our Chief Accounting
Officer since May 2018, and as our Corporate Controller since July 2016. He also served as our interim Chief Financial Officer
from May 2018 through August 2018. Prior to joining Lifeway, he served as Director of External Reporting for CPG International
LLC in Skokie, Illinois from October 2014 through July 2016; and as Audit Manager for Deloitte & Touche, LLP in Chicago, Illinois
from November 2012 through September 2014. He also held various senior financial positions with Crowe Horwath from 2003 through
2012, and has over 20 years of financial reporting experience. Mr. Hanson holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University
of Illinois.
In connection with Mr. Hanson’s appointment as Lifeway’s
Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, we are currently negotiating the terms of an employment agreement with Mr. Hanson. Once
executed, Lifeway will amend this Form 8-K to disclose the material terms and conditions of such agreement.
