Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:FLGC), a pharmaceutical preparations company based in Ontario with a market capitalization of $22.72 million and annual revenue of $64.15 million, announced significant changes to its board and executive team.
According to InvestingPro analysis, the company's stock has shown strong momentum with a 52.25% return over the past six months and appears to be trading below its Fair Value.
On December 5, 2024, Brendan Cahill resigned from his position as a director. The resignation was not due to any disagreements with the company's operations or practices.
Simultaneously, Flora Growth's Board of Directors appointed Sammy Dorf as a non-independent director and Executive Chairman of the Board. Dorf, aged 40, is the Co-Founder and former Chief Growth Officer of Verano Holdings Corp., a major cannabis company with revenues exceeding $925 million.
His tenure with Verano spanned from October 2015 to March 2024, and he has since been the founder of Dreamlife Consulting. Dorf's experience in the cannabis industry includes raising capital, acquiring licenses across multiple states, and expanding operations.
The company has not yet finalized an Executive Chairman Agreement with Dorf, but negotiations are underway. This agreement is expected to include a base salary and stock appreciation rights. However, Dorf will not receive additional compensation for his director role.
Additionally, Manfred Leventhal was appointed as an independent director and member of the audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees. The Board confirmed that Leventhal qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as per SEC regulations and meets the independence criteria of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Following these appointments, Flora Growth expects to regain compliance with Nasdaq's audit committee composition requirements. The company has notified Nasdaq of these changes and anticipates confirmation of compliance.
The appointments come at a crucial time for Flora Growth as it continues to navigate the evolving pharmaceutical and cannabis industries. The new additions to the Board are part of the company's ongoing efforts to strengthen its leadership and strategic direction. InvestingPro data reveals that while the company is currently not profitable, analysts expect net income growth and improved profitability this year.
