 therewith. The Board has adopted a Continuing Education Policy, which provides that the CGCN Committee will present the directors, from time to time throughout each fiscal year, with a variety of continuing education opportunities. The CGCN Committee may also invite external legal counsel and other external advisors of the Company to present at Board meetings on topics and trends facing companies in the cannabis industry. In addition, directors have access to the Company’s in-house and external legal counsel in the event of any questions or matters relating to their corporate and director responsibilities and to keep themselves current with changes in legislation. In Fiscal 2025, the Board was offered four education sessions, one of which was presented by external advisors and three were presented by various Company business units. These included a session on director fiduciary duties (Canada and the US), changes to the U.S. cannabis regulatory roadmap, and international cannabis landscape and regulatory changes, changes in vaping legislation and risk in Australia, as well as an in depth review of the innovation pipeline and relevant market competitors of Storz and Bickel. Sessions were held in-person and virtually and the majority were attended by all members of the Board. These continuing education opportunities are in addition to any presentations by management or other Company employees on the Company’s ongoing operations either at Board meetings or organized separately. The Board’s Continuing Education Policy is administered by the CGCN Committee and reviewed on an annual basis and revised as necessary. 31
