Among other factors and reasons, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, HEXO’s Board of Directors has now decided to recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the appointment of MGO as Successor Auditor at the 2023 AGM in light of MGO’s expertise both in the
The Amended Meeting Materials have been filed under the Company’s profiles on SEDAR and EDGAR and are also available at https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2092, the notice-and-access website for the proxy materials for the 2023 AGM maintained by the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, and can also be obtained from the Company upon request.
As the existing form of proxy for the 2023 AGM confers discretionary authority on the persons named in the proxy with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or other matters which may properly come before the 2023 AGM or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Company does not intend to distribute an amended form of proxy. The management proxyholders named in the form of proxy for the 2023 AGM will be empowered to exercise such discretionary authority to vote FOR the appointment of MGO as the auditor of the Company to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor is appointed and the authorization of the directors to fix the remuneration of the auditor. To the extent registered shareholders wish to withhold their votes on the appointment of MGO as auditor and the authorization for directors to determine their remuneration, they should either attend the 2023 AGM virtually and cast a withhold vote on such matter, or appoint a proxyholder to do so on their behalf. Beneficial shareholders should contact their custodian, broker or financial intermediary in the event they wish to similarly withhold their votes on the appointment of MGO as auditors.
