**Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets**

On March 1, 2023, Oatly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Oatly") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Oatly US Operations & Supply Inc., completed its previously reported sale of its manufacturing facilities in Ogden, Utah (the "Ogden Facility") and the manufacturing facilities being constructed at Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (the "DFW Facility" and, together with the Ogden Facility, the "Facilities") to Ya Ya Foods USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("YYF") in connection with the establishment of a strategic manufacturing alliance with YYF, pursuant to the terms of that certain asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with YYF and its parent company Aseptic Beverage Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Buyer Parent"), dated December 30, 2022 (collectively, the "Transaction").

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, YYF acquired a majority of the assets that are used in the operation of the Facilities and assumed Oatly's obligations arising under the real property leases and certain contracts for and related to the Facilities. The Company continues to own all intellectual property related to production of oat base, the Company's principal, proprietary ingredient for all Oatly products, and the Company continues to own and operate its own equipment, fixtures and supplies associated with its production of oat base at the Facilities. In connection with the Transaction, YYF and the Company also have entered into a contract manufacturing agreement pursuant to which YYF will manufacture certain finished products for Oatly, using oat base supplied by Oatly (the "Co-Pack Agreement").

As consideration for the Transaction, the Company received an aggregate purchase price of approximately $101.4 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, $86.5 million is attributable to the Ogden Facility, of which (a) $72.0 million was paid to the Company through a combination of $52.0 million cash and $20.0 million in the form of a promissory note from the Buyer Parent to the Company (as further described below), and (b) $14.5 million is in the form of a credit toward future use of shared assets at the Ogden

Facility. The remaining $14.9 million of the aggregate purchase price is attributable to the DFW Facility, of which (a) $12.4 million is a credit toward future capital expenditures associated with completion of oat base capacity at the DFW Facility, and (b) $2.5 million is in the form of a credit toward future use of shared assets at the DFW Facility.

As part of the consideration for the Transaction, the Buyer Parent issued a promissory note for $20 million to Oatly due May 1, 2028 (the "Note"). The interest rate of the Note begins at 8% and escalates an additional 2% each year. The Note is guaranteed by the founder and chief executive officer of the Buyer Parent. The Buyer Parent's obligation under the Note may be offset by amounts owed to YYF under the Co-Pack Agreement only if such amounts are not paid in accordance with the Co-Pack Agreement. The Note also contains other customary terms and conditions.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which Oatly previously filed as Exhibit 99.2 to its Report on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2023.
