## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Akanda Corp. Addresses Impacts of Postal Strike on Receiving Materials for its Upcoming Special Meeting**

**Toronto, Ontario, October 10, 2025 – Akanda Corp.** ("**Akanda**" or the "**Company**") today announced that, due to the ongoing postal strike in Canada, the Company is unable to mail shareholder proxy materials (the "**Meeting Materials**") for its upcoming special meeting (the "**Meeting**") of shareholders scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at the offices of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, Suite 1600, 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario.

Akanda is incorporated under the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario), which ordinarily requires delivery of Meeting Materials to registered shareholders by mail. As the postal strike has made mailing impracticable, the Company has implemented alternative delivery procedures that fully ensure shareholders' access to the required information.

The Meeting Materials are available for download on the Company's website at https://akandacorp.com and will remain accessible there for six months following the date of the Meeting. Shareholders may also request printed copies of the Meeting Materials be sent to them via email or couriered to them within Canada or the United States, at no cost by contacting the Company by email at ir@akandacorp.com or they may access the documents online under the Company's profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Registered shareholders (those who hold their shares directly in the Company and not through a broker or other intermediary) may obtain a control number or receive assistance with voting by contacting the Company's Meeting proxy provider, Odyssey Trust Company. To facilitate this process, shareholders are encouraged to use the "Chat with Odyssey Trust" feature at https://odysseytrust.com/contact/ or to contact Odyssey Trust by telephone at 1-888-290-1175 (toll-free in North America) or 1-587-885-0960 (outside North America). Shareholders are reminded to submit their proxies or voting instructions by no later than 48 hours prior to the time of the Meeting, as indicated in the Meeting Materials, to ensure their votes are counted.

Beneficial shareholders (those who hold their shares through a brokerage firm or other intermediary) who have not yet received information about the Meeting should contact their intermediary directly to obtain a voting proxy.

These alternative procedures have been implemented to ensure that all shareholders receive timely access to the Meeting Materials and can participate fully in the Meeting, notwithstanding the postal disruption. The Company is confident that these measures provide a secure, accessible, and compliant alternative to traditional mail delivery.

The Company appreciates shareholders' understanding and cooperation during this postal disruption. Akanda remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and governance and encourages all shareholders to review the Meeting Materials and participate in the Meeting.
