Company) is pleased to
announce that Yasir Naqvi has been appointed as a director of the
Company, effective immediately. Mr. Naqvi will hold office along
with existing directors Melinda Rombouts and Ravi Sood.
The Company also announces the resignation of
Clark Moeller, Shari Mogk-Edwards and the Board Chair, Alice

sincerely thank Mr. Moeller, Ms. Mogk-Edwards and Ms. Murphy for
their invaluable contributions to the Company during their tenure
on the board and wishes them well in their future pursuits.
Mr. Naqvi is the Chief Executive Officer of the
Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC). Prior to joining the ICC,
Mr. Naqvi served as a Member of Provincial Parliament for almost 11
years. In that time, he served as the Attorney General of Ontario,

competition, regulatory and administrative law with major law firms
in Ottawa. Mr. Naqvi has been cited as a “Community Builder” by
United Way Ottawa and listed as one of the “Top 50 People in the
Capital” by Ottawa Life magazine. In 2018, he was named on Canadian

received the Lincoln Alexander Award by the Law Society of Ontario.
Mr. Naqvi’s appointment remains subject to approval of the TSX

“We are thrilled to have Yasir Naqvi join our
board. He is a consummate professional and well-versed in
cannabis policy. As Attorney General of Ontario, he successfully
oversaw the implementation of the provincial marijuana legalization
regime, and his insight into governmental, regulatory and foreign
affairs will be invaluable to Eve,” says Melinda Rombouts, CEO and
director of Eve & Co. “We look forward to his leadership to
take the Company to the next level.”
