Eagle US is a leading supplier of disposable gloves and clothing. Our products are sourced ethically and transparently, and through ongoing R&D and third-party analysis of our gloves, we certify their food safety and quality. Our products make a difference in the lives and families of workers involved in glove and clothing manufacturing. Led by the consumer, we are driving our industry to become transparent, while helping reduce the environmental impact. The incumbent glove supply industry in the US is static - poor quality products and processes are mainstream and accepted. Eagle is changing this through our innovative and disruptive approach to food safety. Key Highlights • The manufacture of disposable gloves is at high risk of labor rights abuse - from small glove suppliers to those manufacturing for major international brands. • 15% of foodborne illness outbreaks implicate disposable glove cross-contamination. • Up to 50% of vinyl gloves, the most popular gloves in food handling in the US, fail when put on. These contribute to excess waste and associated food safety risks. • Our growing customer base includes the second largest US food retailer. • 330 million disposable gloves are used and disposed of each day in the US – the opportunity for Eagle to disrupt the disposable glove industry in the US is limitless. Thank you for your interest in investing in Eagle US - we welcome you to join us on our journey of changing the world one glove at a time! Investors will receive a pro rata share of 4% of revenue annually. 100% of invested principal will be returned plus 50% on top after five years, if not previously received from the annual revenue payments.

Eagle US is Delaware public benefit corporation based in California and has been operating across the US since 2016.

California-based Eagle US started trading supplying disposable gloves and clothing to the US food industry in 2016 after the founder relocated with his family to California to begin and build the business. In two years the US entity has gone from zero sales to sales of almost $200,000 per month.

Eagle Protect PBC Story

Eagle NZ has been innovating practices for social and environmental good since 2006. In 2012, Eagle NZ became the first certified B Corp in its industry and just three years later was honored with the global Building the Movement Award at the Annual B Corp Retreat. Together as the Eagle Group, Eagle US and Eagle NZ are the only B Corp in their industry in the world. In 2017, the Eagle Group became the first company in its industry to be certified as Child Labor Free (CLF) to a manufacturing level for a specific range of our products. Steve Ardagh, the founder of Eagle NZ, and his family relocated to California in 2016 to found Eagle US, building on the experience and success of Eagle NZ; both financially and in social and environmental impact. Since its inception in 2016, Eagle US’s annual revenue has grown significantly. Eagle US's August 2018 revenue was $182,000 approximately. If we are able to maintain monthly revenue at that level, our annual revenue will be approximately $2.18 million. There is a shift happening! Consumers are demanding to know where their food products come from, what has touched them and their impact on the environment. They want companies to do the right thing and be honest and open! We believe Eagle US has the expertise, drive and imagination to improve the US food sector. Eagle staff personally visit every supplier regularly and perform a rigorous audit of their product manufacturing; including quality, employee conditions and environmental impact. There are many examples in the US marketplace from companies such as Unilever, Danone and others that show doing good is good for business! Unilever reports that 60% of growth now comes from their Sustainable Living Brands portfolio! Eagle US operates at the intersection of food safety, sustainability and supply chain transparency. IMPACT SUMMARY Every minute in the US over 100,000 people put on disposable gloves. Just as many take them off and dispose of them - every single minute, 24/7, 365 days a year! In the food sector alone - 30 billion gloves are used every year. Through better quality product and processes, we believe we could save over 5 billion gloves every year from being used - saving millions of pounds of waste, emissions and water. The opportunity for impact is significant and the change is simple. We have the intention and believe we have the research, people and supply chain to assist the US food industry in becoming safer, more transparent and environmentally aware.
