He is a Chartered Accountant with a Bachelors of Commerce and Administration (B.C.A.) in Accounting and Commercial Law and a Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting from Victoria University of Wellington.

"We are very excited to welcome Darsh to Greenlane," said Nick Kovacevich, CEO of Greenlane. "Darsh brings a compelling blend of accounting and finance experience, well-honed technical skills, and proven leadership abilities. He also brings valuable and unique experience in the highly nuanced cannabis industry. We believe Darsh will be a strong leader as we execute our 2022 strategic plan to accelerate our path to profitability and position Greenlane for sustainable, long-term value creation."

As Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Dahya will lead many of Greenlane's principal financial activities.

Renah Persofsky Appointed to the Board of Directors
The Company has appointed Renah Persofsky as a Board Director. Ms. Persofsky has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Strajectory Corp. since 2010 and was an Executive Consultant of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce from 2011 to 2021. She presently serves as the Vice Chairwoman and Lead Director of Tilray Inc. (Nasdaq:TLRY) (previously Aphria Inc.), from October 2017, as well as Executive Chairwoman of Green Gruff Inc. since July 2019. Ms. Persofsky is also currently a Board Member of K.B.

Ms. Persofsky has also previously served as an Executive Consultant to many iconic brands including Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Canada Post and Interac, and was an Executive Officer of the Bank of Montreal. She previously co-chaired the Canadian Minister's Advisory Committee on Electronic Commerce, as well as served as a Special Advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Kovacevich continued: "On behalf of the entire Board, I'm thrilled to welcome Renah. Renah has over 40 years of business experience with a deep understanding of distribution and the global cannabis market. She has worked intimately with many leading brands, which we believe will prove invaluable as we continue to grow our Greenlane Brands and become the leading house of brands in the ancillary cannabis industry. Further, Renah adds instant credibility with her corporate governance experience at leading cannabis organizations Tilray and Hydrofarm. We look forward to bringing her voice and perspective to our Board, as we continue to seek talented individuals from all walks of life to help lead Greenlane in its next stage of evolution."

Resignation of Dallas Imbimbo from the Board of Directors
The Company also announced that Dallas Imbimbo, Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has resigned from the Company's Board of Directors to pursue other business interests. A serial entrepreneur, Mr. Imbimbo was a founder of Kush Bottles and later KushCo Holdings, Inc. ("KushCo"), which merged with the Company in 2021. He was instrumental in establishing the process for revitalizing and diversifying Greenlane's Board.

Mr. Imbimbo stated, "I feel very fortunate to have worked closely with Nick as a KushCo co-founder through the merger with Greenlane and later with the Greenlane Board. As the Company reimagines its business, I am very excited to see Renah Persofsky join the Board to help guide our executive team and propel Greenlane to the next level."

Kovacevich added: "I would like to thank Dallas for all his hard work, insights and contributions to the Company. Dallas is one of the most talented and successful entrepreneurs that I know, and he's been instrumental in the formation and growth of KushCo and the recent integration efforts post-merger. I'm lucky to have a business relationship and friendship with Dallas for almost two decades now, and I look forward to building on that relationship as Dallas steps down from the Board and continues to be one of Greenlane's largest shareholders."
