Dear Fellow Tilray Shareholder,
When we announced the “new” Tilray in December of last year, we were optimistic that we had the strategy, resources and leadership to create the world’s leading cannabis-focused consumer brands company. Together, we made a bold bet that:
- The strong trends towards cannabis legalization and broader consumer reach in our three key markets – Canada, International and the U.S. – would grow stronger;
- A management team with a track record of building and sustaining value in the CPG wellness space was well positioned to help grow a new leader in the cannabis sector; and
- A combination of well-defined organic growth initiatives combined with acquisitions and partnerships would afford us a unique opportunity to expand our business globally and grow into the unquestioned industry leader, with $4B in revenue by the end of our fiscal year 2024.
I want to be clear: our conviction in both the opportunity and our ability to execute on these key growth plans has never been stronger. But our ability to do so rests on the support of our shareholders, from whom we have been seeking support to get important proposals passed. Proposal 1, in particular, would authorize Tilray to issue additional shares to execute on attractive acquisitions and other growth avenues in our M&A program. We need a majority of all the shares issued and outstanding to vote in favor of Proposal 1 in order for it to pass.
