Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On January 9, 2024, Acreage Holdings, Inc. (“Acreage” or the “Company”) distributed a shareholder resolution and ballot to all registered holders of Class D Subordinate Voting Shares, Class E Subordinate Voting Shares and Class F Multiple Voting Shares in accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation (the “articles”) and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) setting the number of directors of the Company at four (the “Resolution”). Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), an “ordinary resolution” includes a resolution passed, after being submitted to all of the shareholders holding shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings, by being consented to in writing by shareholders holding shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings who, in the aggregate, hold shares carrying at least a special majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the resolution. Under Acreage’s articles, a “special majority” is two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the resolution.
On January 10, 2024, Kevin P. Murphy, the registered holder of 506,396,400 votes, representing approximately 81.4% of the voting rights attached to all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, voted in favor of the Resolution. John Boehner, William C. Van Faasen, Dennis Curran and Corey Sheahan remain the current members of Acreage’s Board of Directors.
