EXPLANATORY NOTE

Laird Superfood, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-248985), which was filed on September 23, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”), by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 relating to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.001 per value per share, that were issuable under the Laird Superfood, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The Registrant is no longer offering its securities under the ESPP.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed in order to deregister any securities registered that remain unsold or unissued under the ESPP, and to terminate the Registration Statement as to such securities. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of the securities registered under the Registration Statement which are issuable pursuant to the ESPP and remain unsold as of the date hereof. Although the shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP are being deregistered, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 shall not serve to reduce the number of shares of common stock covered by the Registration Statement under the other plans listed therein.
