MGP Ingredients Inc. Officer/Director Change and Power of Attorney Filing

This filing details a Power of Attorney granted by Mercedes Romero, a director at MGP Ingredients Inc., to several individuals, including Zoe Vantzos. This power of attorney authorizes the appointed individuals to act on Ms. Romero's behalf in all matters related to her reporting obligations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This includes preparing, executing, and filing necessary reports, such as Forms 3, 4, and 5, in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The attorneys-in-fact are empowered to manage Ms. Romero's EDGAR account, obtain information on company securities from third parties, and perform any other actions deemed necessary or beneficial. The document also clarifies that this power of attorney does not relieve Ms. Romero of her ultimate responsibility for compliance with SEC regulations, nor does it transfer liability for any actions or omissions of the attorneys-in-fact. This power of attorney revokes any previous such documents and remains in effect until Ms. Romero is no longer required to file reports or until it is revoked in writing.
