Zenabis Global Inc. Adopts Advance Notice Policy

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 5, 2020 /CNW/ - Zenabis Global Inc. (TSX: ZENA) ("Zenabis") is pleased to announce that Zenabis' board of directors (the "Board") has adopted a new policy that requires advance notice to Zenabis for nominations of directors other than by management, through a requisition for a meeting or by way of a shareholder proposal.

Among other things, the policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of Zenabis must submit director nominations to Zenabis prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to Zenabis for the notice to be in proper written form.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to Zenabis must be made not later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the 30th day before the date of the meeting; provided, however, if the first public announcement made by Zenabis of the date of the meeting (each such date being the "Notice Date") is less than 50 days before the meeting date, notice by the nominating shareholder may be given not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the Notice Date.

In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for any purpose which includes the election of directors to the Board, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the Notice Date.

The new policy is intended to: (i) facilitate an orderly and efficient annual general or special meeting process; (ii) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the director nominations and sufficient information regarding all director nominees; and (iii) allow shareholders to register an informed vote after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.

The policy is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for approval at Zenabis' next annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled for September 17, 2020. Pending shareholder approval, the policy will be superseded by the addition of advance notice provisions to Zenabis' articles of incorporation.

The full text of the policy is available on Zenabis' web site at www.zenabis.com.
