Grown Rogue Announces Completion of Share Reorganization

C.GRIN

MEDFORD, Ore., June 28, 2024 /CNW/ - Grown Rogue International Inc. ("Grown Rogue" or the "Company") (CSE: GRIN) (OTC: GRUSF), a craft cannabis company born from the amazing terroir of Oregon's Rogue Valley, is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated June 24, 2024, it has completed a reorganization of the Company's share capital (the "Share Reorganization"), as approved by the shareholders of the Company at its annual and special meeting held on June 24, 2024 (the "Meeting").

Pursuant to the Share Reorganization, the Company amended its articles to redesignate its existing class of common shares without par value in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") as Subordinate Voting Shares ("SV Shares") and created a new class of unlisted Multiple Voting Shares ("MV Shares").

"First, I'd like to reiterate this conversion is non-dilutive and will have no impact on the voting power of any shareholder. We would like to thank some of our largest shareholders for converting their SVS shares into MVS shares to allow us to preserve our foreign private issuer status in the United States to avoid the added obligations of converting our financial reporting standards from IFRS to U.S GAAP," said Obie Strickler, CEO of Grown Rogue. "75,194,941 SVS were converted to MVS, with over 56,000,000 of those coming from Mindset Capital and Bengal Capital. I would personally like to thank those two, as well as the other shareholders converting to MVS, for their continued support and commitment to Grown Rogue."

The new CUSIP and ISIN for the SV Shares are 39986R304 and CA39986R3045, respectively. The trading symbol for the SV Shares remains "GRIN" on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The record date for the Share Reorganization was June 26, 2024, and the Share Reorganization became effective on June 27, 2024.

The Company has received conversion notices from holders of 75,194,941 SV Shares, converting their SV Shares into 75,194.941 MV Shares (the "SV Conversion"). Following the completion of the SV Conversion, the Company has 143,421,864 SV Shares and 75,194.941 MV Shares outstanding.
