&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 1.4;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About us:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 1.4;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Based in Berkeley, CA, UPSIDE Foods grows meat, poultry, and seafood directly from real animal cells. These products are not vegan or vegetarian—they are delicious meat, made without the need to raise and slaughter billions of animals. In doing so, the company aims to address some of the most pressing environmental, animal welfare, and public health challenges, while still giving people the meat they love.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 1.4;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Founded as the world’s first cultivated meat company in 2015, UPSIDE Foods (formerly Memphis Meats) has achieved numerous industry-defining milestones, including being the first company to produce multiple species of meat (beef, chicken, and duck) and to sell a cultivated meat product in the United States. The company believes that people shouldn’t have to choose between the foods they love and a thriving planet, and is working to build a better food system with access to delicious, humane, and sustainable meat, poultry, and seafood.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
