Zach George, Chief Executive Officer of SNDL

“We respect the outcome of the vote and have listened carefully to our shareholders. Shareholder feedback emphasized a desire for an accelerated return of capital, with only a simple majority supporting a share consolidation at this time. Our capital allocation priorities remain clear: maintain balance sheet strength, invest selectively in opportunities that support long-term growth and return capital where we believe it will create the greatest long-term value for shareholders. Over the past 12 months, we have returned more than C$43 million to shareholders through share repurchases, and the Company intends to explore additional, accelerated mechanisms to return capital to shareholders while reducing our outstanding share count.”
