The reverse split is a structural prerequisite for a U.S. exchange listing, not a fundamental change. Monitor for a subsequent listing application on Nasdaq or NYSE, which would be the real catalyst. The split itself is neutral — it does not change valuation or ownership percentages.

Executive Summary
Verano Holdings filed a DEFA14A (additional definitive proxy soliciting material) announcing a 1-for-5 reverse stock split effective June 11, 2026, reducing outstanding shares from 364,381,806 to ~72,876,361 and authorized shares from 5 billion to 1 billion. The split is intended to prepare the company for a prospective U.S. stock exchange listing, building on its November 2025 redomiciliation to Nevada. This filing supplements the April 29, 2026 proxy statement for the June 18, 2026 annual meeting, with all pre-split share counts in the proxy unchanged.
