RE:RE:Hexo CEO exits after activist investor slams performanceFrom the BNN article: "St-Louis' decision to seek a US$145 million underwritten public offering in August days before the Redecan deal was scheduled to close to close may have contributed to his departure. The announcement led to a 28-per-cent one-day decline in Hexo's stock. At the time, St-Louis told BNN Bloomberg the financing was made to help the company explore a venture in the U.S. market for further growth.
However, Arviv told the board in the letter that the August financing was "further evidence of [St-Louis'] lack of qualified capital market stewardship."

Arviv recommends in the letter the board appoint one of either Hexo Chief Financial Officer Trent MacDonald, company director and head of Groupe Mach Vincent Chiara, or former Redecan co-owner Pete Montour as the new CEO.
