Our Board of Directors and our leadership team are focused on this objective and together, we are growing our company into a thriving business, adapting and innovating in this unprecedented environment in which we operate.,” said Sébastien St-Louis, HEXO’s co-founder and CEO. “It appears that yesterday’s public comments from shareholders have contributed to the changes in the stock price.”
