On December 15, 2024, Flora Growth Corp.'s (NASDAQ:FLGC) Board of Directors approved the issuance of 900,000 Restricted Stock Awards to Clifford Starke (the "Acquiror"), a key shareholder in the company.

Starke’s Expanded Ownership

Prior to the transaction, Starke owned 1,346,902 Common Shares, representing 7.80% of the outstanding shares of Flora Growth. Following the grant, his ownership surged to 3,850,886 Common Shares, accounting for approximately 16.39% of the company’s outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, assuming the exercise of all options, warrants, and stock appreciation rights.

This significant increase in ownership underscores Starke’s growing influence within Flora Growth and reflects the Board’s confidence in his alignment with the company’s long-term goals.

Future Market Activity

In compliance with securities laws, the Acquiror retains the flexibility to adjust his stake in Flora Growth. This includes acquiring additional shares or other securities of the company through market transactions or other means. Similarly, Starke has the option to dispose of his holdings, depending on market conditions, Flora Growth’s business outlook, and other relevant factors.

Such actions could have implications for the company’s stock market activity, particularly given the Acquiror's expanded position and influence.
