Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2026) - Akanda Corp. (NASDAQ: AKAN) ("Akanda" or the "Company") today announced that on March 31, 2026, it convened and subsequently adjourned its Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") without transacting any business due to the absence of a quorum.

The Meeting has been adjourned and will be reconvened in person in Toronto, Ontario on Monday, April 27, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). The adjournment provides the Company with additional time to solicit proxies from shareholders in order to achieve the required quorum. The location, including the URL for the online simulcast, will remain the same for the adjourned meeting.

A quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of at least two shareholders holding not less than 10% of the Company's outstanding shares entitled to vote. As this threshold was not met, no business could be conducted.

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the reconvened Meeting remains the close of business on February 26, 2026. Shareholders who have already submitted their votes do not need to take any further action, as previously submitted proxies will be voted at the reconvened Meeting unless properly revoked.

The Company strongly encourages all shareholders to vote their shares promptly upon receipt of proxy materials to ensure their participation at the reconvened Meeting.

If you have any questions or require assistance in voting your shares, please contact the Company using the contact information provided below.
