Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As discussed below in Item 5.07, at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of TerrAscend Corp. (the “Company”) held on June 24, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the amendment of certain outstanding stock options held by insiders of the Company, including Ziad Ghanem, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Keith Stauffer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Lynn Gefen, the Company’s Chief People and Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary. Pursuant to the amendment, conditional on each such insider continuing to perform his or her duties on behalf of the Company for a period of at least 12 months from June 24, 2025 (the “Amendment Service Requirement”), the original exercise price of the stock options held by such insider will automatically be modified to an exercise price that is equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding June 24, 2025. In the event that an insider does not fulfill the Amendment Service Requirement, the original exercise price of the stock options held by such insider will remain in effect and unmodified. As previously disclosed, on May 28, 2025, Mr. Stauffer notified the Company of his decision to resign as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective July 18, 2025. Therefore, Mr. Stauffer is not expected to fulfill the Amendment Service Requirement.
All other terms and conditions relating to the stock options held by such Company insiders will remain unmodified. The terms and conditions of the amendment of the stock options are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2025.
