Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced the voting results from its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on August 8, 2025. Following the meeting, Theresa Firestone resigned from Aurora's Board of Directors, effective August 31, 2025, in accordance with the company's majority voting policy, as she did not receive a majority of votes 'for' her election.
Ms. Firestone had served as an Independent Director since 2021 and most recently chaired the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. Michael Singer was appointed as the new Lead Independent Director and Chair of the HRCC, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will seek to fill the board vacancy.
Shareholders also approved the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors and amendments to certain company plans. However, the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, known as 'say-on-pay,' did not receive the required majority of votes in favor, indicating shareholder concerns regarding executive compensation practices.
