News Releases

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – August 23, 2024 Greenlane Renewables Inc. (“Greenlane”) (TSX: GRN / FSE: 52G) today announces changes to its senior management team, which are effective immediately. Ian Kane, currently President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has submitted his resignation. Ian has left the role of CEO but will continue as President for approximately three months to assist in the transition of the new roles in the senior management team, after which he will leave the Company. Brad Douville, who has been the Company’s Executive Vice Chair, has left that role to re-assume the role of CEO, a position he held from June 2019 through August 2023. Alex Chassels has left his position as Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) of the Company and has left the Company. Maura Lendon, who has been Greenlane’s Chief Legal Officer, has left that role to assume the role of COO. Ian and Brad will continue as members of the Board of Directors.

“When Ian was hired over a year ago, he was tasked with working with the Board, Brad and the senior team to plot a path towards a sustainable business plan while also giving Brad the bandwidth to pursue unique strategic opportunities and partnerships,” said Wade Nesmith, Greenlane’s Board Chair. “As previously reported, considerable work has been accomplished in that effort. The Company is focused on its strengths; expanding the successful business of its Italian subsidiary Airdep, pushing forward with its growing upgrader business with key industry leaders in Brazil, working to extend its service offerings and continuing to offer a more focused portfolio of unique standardized products in the North American upgrader market.

“Ian’s work over the past year in a dynamic RNG market has been challenging and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his efforts on our behalf,” continued Mr. Nesmith. “We are a much more focused and efficient company than we were a year ago and much of that is due to Ian’s vision and leadership. I would also like to thank Alex for his efforts over the past two years as our COO. And I am very pleased to welcome Maura to her new role. I’ve worked with Maura, in different roles, for over a decade, including as a key executive within Greenlane over the last three years, and I look forward to her work in this critical corporate role.”Finally, I am happy to welcome Brad back as CEO. His strategic work over the past 12 months has positioned us well to achieve a sustainable business model in an increasingly challenging market. We look forward to turning the corner to profitability under his leadership.”
