Jamieson Wellness Inc. Reminds Shareholders to Vote in Advance of the Proxy Voting Deadline for the Upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders

TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2026 /CNW/ — Jamieson Wellness Inc. (“Jamieson Wellness” or the “Company“) (TSX: JWEL) reminds its shareholders to vote ahead of the proxy voting deadline for the Company’s upcoming special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting“).

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE VOTE TODAY

The proxy voting deadline is at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Monday, September 28, 2026.

At the Meeting, Shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 21, 2026 will be asked to consider and vote on a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution“) to approve a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement“) under section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), pursuant to which Kirin Holdings Company, Limited has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Jamieson Wellness (the “Shares“) at a price of C$45.75 per Share in cash (the “Consideration“).

Unanimous Board Recommendation

After careful consideration and taking into account, among other things, the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee“) of the board of directors (the “Board“), Jamieson Wellness’ Board, after receiving legal and financial advice, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Company and the Consideration to be received by Shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders. Accordingly, and on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

Independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC have also recommended Jamieson Wellness’ shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

Details About the Special Meeting

The Meeting will be in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live audio webcast over the internet at https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1980 using the Meeting password “jamieson2026″ (case sensitive). We have designed the format of the virtual meeting so that Shareholders have substantially similar opportunities to vote and participate as they would have at a physical meeting, but with the ability to do so remotely from any location around the world.
