Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 2, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Flora Growth Corp. (the "Company") appointed Mr. Brendan Cahill as an independent director and member of each of the Company's audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee.

Mr. Cahill was President and Chief Executive Officer of the Excellon Resources Inc. from 2012 to 2022. Previously, he was Vice President Corporate Development and Corporate Secretary of the Pelangio group of companies (until July 2012). He is currently a Director of Group Eleven Resources Corp. and former director of KORE Mining Ltd. and Cryptostar Corp. He is a member of the Transplant Cabinet at the University Health Network and a member of the Law Society of Ontario

In connection with his appointment, the Board has determined that Mr. Cahill (i) meets the requirements for audit committee service contained in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A); (ii) is an "independent director" as contemplated by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1); and (iii) is an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Cahill's initial term will expire at the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders or his earlier resignation or removal. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither Mr. Cahill nor any of his immediate family members is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, nor is Mr. Cahill party to any understanding or arrangement pursuant to which he was appointed as a director. Mr. Cahill does not have any family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company.

Mr. Cahill will be compensated in accordance with the Company's standard compensation policies and practices for the Board, the components of which were disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024.

After giving effect to Mr. Cahill's appointment, the audit committee of the Board has three independent members as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). The Company informed NASDAQ of the foregoing on May 6, 2024. As a result of the foregoing, the Company expects NASDAQ to confirm that it has regained compliance with the audit committee composition requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).
