Naturally Amish believes Wagler’s background makes him uniquely positioned to help the Company accomplish one of its most important long-term objectives: creating a trusted bridge between Amish agricultural communities and the broader commercial and investment marketplace.

Menno Wagler stated, “I grew up in the Amish community. My brother and I milked cows when we were kids, and later my brother-in-law and I owned a dairy with 1,000 acres; agriculture was part of our everyday life. I understand where these farmers come from, how they think, how hard they work and how important trust and relationships are within the community.” Wagler continued, “At the same time, I have spent nearly 40 years building businesses, developing projects, working with customers, lenders, developers and professionals outside of the Amish community. That gives me the ability to understand both worlds, and I believe that perspective can be extremely valuable to Naturally Amish.”

Noah Wagler, CEO of Naturally Amish and SMEV, commented, “Menno brings much more to Naturally Amish than capital. His story is really representative of what Naturally Amish is trying to accomplish. He grew up inside the Amish community, worked on the farm as a child and understands agriculture firsthand, but he also went out and built a formidable construction and development company.”

According to Noah Wagler, one of the opportunities he sees is Menno helping Naturally Amish introduce the capabilities of Amish agricultural communities to Wall Street markets and investors that may have had very little direct exposure to them.

Menno stated, “There are tremendous capabilities within the Amish communities – agriculture, livestock, food production, construction, craftsmanship, land development and sustainability. However, there has historically been a gap between those communities and the larger commercial marketplace. I believe Naturally Amish has an opportunity to build that bridge while respecting the culture and values that make these communities unique.” Wagler said his involvement is intended to extend well beyond his financial investment: “I plan to be a strategic investor and an active resource to Naturally Amish going forward. I want to help management evaluate opportunities, prioritize projects and make sure capital is being deployed into areas where we believe it can have the greatest impact.”

Bridging Amish Agriculture and Wall Street

Management believes one of Wagler’s most important contributions may be his ability to help Naturally Amish communicate effectively with two very different constituencies: the Amish agricultural communities that may provide products, knowledge, resources and business opportunities to the platform, and the shareholders and investment community supporting SMEV as a publicly traded company.

Wagler commented, “I understand both worlds because I was born into Amish culture and have spent my adult life working in the broader business world. Naturally Amish has to respect both sides. We need to communicate with the Amish communities in a way that preserves their values and trust, while also providing public-market investors with the transparency, accountability and business discipline they expect from a public company.” He continued, “My goal is to help Naturally Amish make that transition seamlessly. We can preserve the integrity and values of the Amish community while building a professionally managed organization capable of operating on a much larger scale. I believe bringing those two worlds together is one of the most exciting opportunities in front of the Company.”

Naturally Amish believes Wagler’s involvement represents an important step toward establishing the financial, operational, construction and agricultural foundation necessary to execute its broader strategy.

Noah Wagler continued, “Menno understands the people, the culture and the agricultural side of what we are building, while also understanding development, finance, construction and business. We believe he can play an important role in helping Naturally Amish maintain the trust of the Amish communities while explaining the enormous capabilities of those communities to shareholders, investors and the broader marketplace.”

Strategic Investment Strengthens Shareholder Position

As part of his ongoing strategic investment in the Company, Wagler has agreed to acquire 100% equity for his $450,000 investment at $0.015 per share, a price materially above the Company’s recent market trading price. This transaction represents a significant commitment to the Company and reflects Wagler’s continued confidence in its long-term potential.

In addition, as part of his second investment, Wagler successfully negotiated with the Company’s noteholders and acquired the outstanding convertible debt, a strategic transaction designed to protect the interests of the Company’s shareholders and provide greater stability as the Company moves forward.

These transactions reflect Menno Wagler’s continued confidence in the Company’s long-term potential and his commitment to strengthening its capital structure while protecting and creating value for existing shareholders.

Management believes the structure demonstrates Menno’s long-term approach to his investment and his intention to participate in building the underlying business rather than focusing solely on short-term market fluctuations. Menno Wagler stated, “I am looking at Naturally Amish from a long-term business perspective. I believe the value I can contribute through my agricultural background, construction experience, development experience and relationships can help the Company build something meaningful. My focus is on helping create long-term operating value for the Company and its shareholders.”

The Company now has additional capital available to begin advancing several previously identified priorities. Management intends to deploy capital deliberately as it evaluates acquisitions, agricultural projects, infrastructure, retail opportunities and other initiatives that fit within the Naturally Amish business model.  Naturally Amish expects to provide shareholders with additional updates as individual projects, acquisitions, construction initiatives and operating priorities move forward.
