Share structure and subordinate voting shares
In a news release describing a transaction completed in 2025, C21 reported that it amended its authorized share structure and articles to create a new class of subordinate voting shares. The company disclosed that:
- An unlimited number of subordinate voting shares without par value were created.
- Each subordinate voting share is initially convertible, under certain circumstances and subject to restrictions, into 0.000001 of a common share, referred to as the conversion ratio.
- The company may require conversion of subordinate voting shares into common shares if it is no longer a foreign private issuer or if its board determines that the subordinate voting shares are no longer necessary or required.
- The company has the right to redeem subordinate voting shares for cash or common shares, using a formula based on the conversion ratio and the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange over a specified period.
- Transfers of subordinate voting shares require the consent of the board of directors.
- Holders of subordinate voting shares are entitled to receive notice of and attend shareholder meetings (other than meetings limited to another class or series) and to vote based on the number of common shares into which their subordinate voting shares are convertible, which is initially 0.000001 of a vote per subordinate voting share.
The company states that the subordinate voting shares do not change the rights and privileges of holders of common shares. Holders of common shares remain entitled to vote at shareholder meetings, receive dividends as determined by the board, and receive remaining property and assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. C21 also notes that each subordinate voting share is the functional equivalent of 0.000001 of a common share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
