01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On August 25, 2025, Harold Wolkin, a director of Flora Growth Corp., an Ontario corporation (the "Company"), passed away. Prior to his passing, Mr. Wolkin served as an "Independent Director", as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), of the Company's audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). On August 26, 2025, Nasdaq was informed that because of Mr. Wolkin's passing, the Company is no longer in compliance with certain Corporate Governance Requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), a majority of the Board of a listed company must be comprised of Independent Directors. With Mr. Wolkin's passing, the Board is currently comprised of only four members, Sammy Dorf, Clifford Starke, Edward Woo and Manfred Leventhal. Only two of the four, Mr. Woo and Mr. Leventhal, qualify as Independent Directors. Therefore, the Company's Board is no longer comprised of a majority of Independent Directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), a listed company must have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must be an Independent Director and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). With Mr. Wolkin's passing, the Company's audit committee is currently comprised of only two members, Mr. Woo and Mr. Leventhal, each of whom meet the independence requirements set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10-A3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. Therefore, the Company's audit committee is no longer comprised of at least three members meeting the aforementioned independence requirements as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).
