Namaste Corporate Makes Move to Virtual Office Permanent:

The Company has successfully subleased its Toronto office location until expiry of its lease on October 30, 2024 such that all corporate staff now work virtually from anywhere in the world.

"We are a global company that hires the best talent irrespective of their location,” said Meni Morim, CEO of Namaste. “Furthermore, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint as part of developing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) plans, appreciating that ESG is increasing in importance to all stakeholders.”

This strategic and sustainable decision will also save the Company approximately $138,000 annually.

Award Grants:

The Board of Directors and its compensation committee consulted with independent industry experts to best determine the overall remuneration package to stay competitive in the marketplace and to attract and retain top-tier talent. Long term incentive program benchmarks, including option and RSU grants, were established from peer companies with comparable market capitalization, operating not only within the cannabis sector, but in similar and adjacent sectors, and compared against historical grants and standards. Long term incentives that vest over multiple years tie individual success with the long-term success of the Company without impacting cash resources.

To that end, the Board of Directors yesterday approved, effective after market close, the grant of an aggregate of 311,250 stock options to officers and a consultant of the Company, which are exercisable into common shares of Namaste at a price of $0.25 per common share, having previously granted on May 6, 2021, 735,800 stock options to non-officer employees and a consultant of the Company, in accordance with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company’s Stock Option Plan. The stock options granted to officers and employees have a term of four years in equal tranches every six months over three years from the applicable grant date and will expire on June 13, 2025 and May 5, 2025 respectively.

In addition, at the same time, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 311,250 restricted share unit awards (“RSUs”) in favour of officers and a consultant of the Company thereby reserving 311,250 commons shares for issuance in connection therewith, having previously granted on May 6, 2021, 535,800 RSUs in favour of non-officer employees in the Company, all in accordance with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company’s Restricted Share Unit Plan adopted by the shareholders at the Company’s last AGM. The RSUs granted to officers and employees vest in equal tranches every six months over three years from the date of their respective grants.
