On February 27, 2023, Thomas Matthew Williams, Chief Growth Officer of Tattooed Chef, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Tattooed Chef”), gave notice of his resignation from the Company effective March 3, 2023. Mr. Williams’s departure is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or procedures.

In his role as Senior Vice President of Sales, Mr. Borchard will help support the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and executive leadership team in leading Tattooed Chef’s 2023 strategy for its existing core frozen business, both branded and private label. He will also help lead the execution of new category growth initiatives, such as Grain-Free Chips, Grain-Free Tortillas, and Refrigerated Bars.
