HEXO Announces Date of Fiscal 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
GATINEAU, Quebec, Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HEXO Corp (“HEXO” or the “Company”) (TSX: HEXO; NASDAQ: HEXO) today announced that its fiscal 2021 annual meeting of shareholders will be held on March 8, 2022 and that its board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 4, 2022 as the record date for determining which shareholders will be entitled to receive notice of and voting at the meeting. HEXO further announces that it has received an extension from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) permitting it to hold the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders after January 31, 2022, being later than six months after the end of its last financial year. As indicated in its request to the TSX for the extension, HEXO is currently working on a number of plans and initiatives that it hopes to be in a position to announce in advance of the annual meeting of shareholders, and it believes that shareholders would benefit from being able to consider any such matters before being asked to vote on the various items of business at the fiscal 2021 annual meeting of shareholders.
