INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

Explanatory Note

 

As previously disclosed, in March 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Flora Growth Corp. (the “Company”) approved amended bylaws (“Bylaw No. 1-A”) which, among other things, increased the minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting from the holders of 10% to 35% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting being present in person or represented by proxy. Approval of Bylaw No. 1-A will be considered by the Company’s shareholders at the meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on July 5, 2022 (the “Shareholder Meeting”).

 

On June 30, 2022, the Board approved a new bylaw (“Bylaw No. 2”) which amended By-Law No. 1-A to the effect that the minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting reverted to 10%. Other than this change, Bylaw No. 2 made no changes to Bylaw No. 1-A. Under applicable Canadian law, bylaws approved by the Board are effective upon approval and are required to be approved by the Company’s shareholders at its subsequent meeting of shareholders to remain in effect. If no shareholder approval is obtained, the new bylaws automatically cease to be effective with the result that the preceding bylaws continue to govern.  As a result, Bylaw No. 1-A, as amended by Bylaw No. 2, are currently the effective bylaws of the Company and the quorum required for the Shareholder Meeting will be the holders of 10% of the shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting being present in person or represented by proxy.

 

The proposals in the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting Circular (the “Meeting Circular”) in connection with the Shareholder Meeting remain unchanged. The Company plans to seek approval of Bylaw No. 1-A, and not Bylaw No. 2. As a result, assuming that the proposal to approve Bylaw No. 1-A is approved, Bylaw No. 1-A will be the Company’s governing bylaws subsequent to the Shareholder Meeting and the minimum quorum requirement for future shareholder meetings shall be 35% of the shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting being present in person or represented by proxy. The Company has posted a supplement to the Meeting Circular (the “Supplement”) to clarify that the quorum with respect to the Shareholder Meeting will be 10% of the shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting being present in person or represented by proxy. A copy of the Supplement is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Report on Form 6-K.  

 

The foregoing descriptions of Bylaw No. 1-A, Bylaw No. 2 and the Supplement are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by references to the full text of Bylaw No. 1-A, Bylaw No. 2 and the Supplement, respectively, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Report on Form 6-K and incorporated by reference herein.
