This week I wanted to explore - in a civil way - what you don't like about legalization. Voice your opinion, but let's do it respectfully. I have issues with the advertising restrictions, for others it's quality and of course price is a big issuecafor a lot of people. Let's also remember we as a nation are less than a year into legalization so it will take time to work out the kinks.

Troubled situations require swift and substantial action, which is the focus of the first three rules of the Sinclair Range turnaround methodology. The rules are:Admit you’re in trouble. Most companies initially react to bad financial performance by blaming one or more non-recurring events, thereby relieving management of the need to shift strategy and implement an aggressive turnaround plan. Troubled situations will not be fixed, and stakeholders will not regain trust in the company, until leadership makes the mental shift to fix the problem at all costs.Change leadership. No one is indispensable. Regardless of the true blame for the current trouble or crisis, replacing (or augmenting) leadership communicates to stakeholders that the company is serious about change and goes a long way to building confidence and support. New leadership brings new ideas and breaks ties with the baggage of the past.Plan and execute. Now. Build an optimistic, but realistic, plan today and start executing. It doesn’t need to be a complete plan or even a fully thought out one. It needs to be directionally accurate and include a limited number of key performance metrics (not revenue) that drive your business and that can be used to quickly monitor the turnaround.In prior posts HERE and HERE, we discussed the failure of CannTrust Holdings to use these rules when faced with a crisis. In contrast, we now look at the successful actions of Aphria Inc., another publicly-traded cannabis company in Canada, and their response to a short attack in late 2018/early 2019.Specifically, certain members of the leadership of Aphria, and other company insiders, were accused of self-dealing, front running acquisitions and in general diverting roughly $700 million of shareholder value to themselves in 2018.Aphria’s response was strong and immediate. In approximately sixty days, starting the same day the short attack became public, they:immediately attacked the integrity and motivations of the issuer of the report;set up an independent committee with a specific mandate (thereby defining the problem), made up of people not related to or accused of the self-dealing;removed their CEO and Co-Founder and replaced them with an interim Chairman and CEO from outside the company;cut off ties to every person and entity accused in the short report;issued a series of good news press releases, demonstrating business as usual;received a hostile bid, from a possibly related party, and rejected it based on value;announced the results of the work of the independent committee and a specific five-point plan to improve governance in the future.What was the result of Aphria’s aggressive response? They weathered the storm and the crisis seems like a distant memory.Want some more detailed discussion?

In addition to a duty of loyalty and good faith to their corporate stakeholders, all Directors of a company are legally required to act with a duty of care and diligence. Same goes for the Officers of the company.In practical terms, the directors’ duty of care, diligence and skill requires the following:- Directors’ decisions must be informed judgments – decisions that take into account all material information reasonably available in the circumstances.- Directors must take due care to consider the relevant information; this means, for instance, that they must take the necessary time to review key documents or summaries and to deliberate.- Directors must take an active and direct role in key matters such as decisions concerning diversification, financings and acquisitions, and divestitures. Directors should not be passive in these important matters. Directors who rely on information provided by management or others should ask themselves whether they have reasonable grounds for doing so.- Having regard to the very important role of the audit committee, directors should satisfy themselves, through the audit committee reports to the board and related discussions, that the committee is discharging its responsibilities effectively.The Supreme Court of Canada has held that the duty of care is owed not only to the corporation but potentially also to stakeholders directly. These rulings significantly increase directors’ exposure to claims alleging that they have breached their duty of care.I have been following the ongoing CannTrust Holdings ($TRST; $CTST) saga with great interest primarily because it provides a textbook example of how not to handle a crisis, regulator or turnaround.For example, should an Independent Director of CannTrust have known about an illegal grow of cannabis in five rooms of the company’s primary asset? According to their Interim CEO, who was an Independent Director at the time of the illegal grow, the answer is No. The Directors relied on false reports from management.One of the reminders from CannTrust is that all Directors and Officers have to proactively work to understand their business. It is their responsibility in law and it also adds to their value proposition. It is difficult to imagine that the Independent Directors of CannTrust, or the finance/accounting team, ever made the effort to visit or understand the company’s growing facility. If they had, they would have discovered the illegal grow before the whistleblower came forward. Alternatively, they were complicit in the scheme.Martinis With Scott, Episode 17, featuring the rock star panel of Jay Richardson and Chris Mathers, discusses this topic and other CannTrust inspired issues, such as:- how CannTrust should have conducted the internal investigation- the meaning of the joint OSC, RCMP, OPP investigation- corporate governance in an industry that attracts crimeLearn more at https://www.sinclairrange.comFollow on Twitter @MartinisWScottFollow on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-sinclair-7b09681b/

CannTrust Holdings (TSX: TRST; NYSE: CTST), a Canadian licensed cannabis producer, has lost over $600 million of market value in the last sixty days. In doing so, it has provided us with an excellent case study on what not to do in a crisis or turnaround.Some highlights from CannTrust’s action-packed July:- Following a whistleblower disclosure, they received an audit report from Health Canada, their regulator, observing the growing of cannabis in five unlicensed rooms and inaccurate information provided to the regulator by CannTrust employees. It’s alleged the company built false walls to conceal the illegal grow.- They acknowledged not having received a permit from Health Canada to grow cannabis on their 81 acre property in BC, Canada, and that if the crop is not planted by August 5, there would be no harvest in 2019, despite previous guidance of 75,000 kgs.- They put a voluntary hold on all product sales. - They formed an Independent Committee with a mandate to investigate the illegal grow. - They were named in three class actions suits.- They terminated, with cause, CEO Peter Aceto, and replaced with interim CEO, Robert Marcovitch.- They demanded and received the resignation of Chairman, Eric Paul.- News broke that Eric Paul and another Director, Mark Litwin, sold $1.0 million of shares on Nov 16, 2018, the same day an internal email referenced the illegal grow. Another $5.0 million of shares were dumped in the next 30 days.- They announced the appointment of an investment banker to explore strategic alternatives.- They announced they would not be filing their next quarter’s financial statements on time.- They announced a securities and police investigation.That’s a big month and the very definition of a crisis. The focus now should be to save jobs and some shareholder value. But it seems CannTrust is losing that battle.What should they have done differently?- The first rule of a turnaround is to understand and admit the problem. All CannTrust’s communications focus on potential quality concerns; not on deceit, fraud, false accounting, a false prospectus, class action suits, liquidity and shareholder value. Those are the issues concerning stakeholders and they should be addressed head on by the company.- They created an Independent Committee of existing Directors that were also on the Board at the time of the illegal grow. In other words, they are investigating themselves. CannTrust should have appointed an external investigator to build credibility. - They have focused their response to this crisis on the investigation. That may be helpful in court and with regulators but does nothing for shareholders, patients and other stakeholders. Immediate action should have been taken regardless of the investigation. Primarily, they should have cleaned house by terminating anyone who remotely may have been involved with the illegal activity.- They should have put together a turnaround team that is experienced and independent of the bad decisions made in the past. Their appointed interim CEO was a Director at the time of the illegal grow and is therefore tainted by this situation, fairly or not.Want some more detailed discussion?

Cannabis stocks in Canada have soared in the past few years. But earlier this month, CannTrust, one of Canada’s largest licensed producers, disclosed that Health Canada was investigating the company following revelations that it was growing unlicensed weed in one of its facilities. Since that story came out, its stock has plummeted.  Host Tamara Khandaker talks to Vanmala Subramaniam from the Financial Post to take you through the story of how one of the country’s top 10 licensed producers took the risk of hiding unlicensed cannabis plants, and what this story can teach us about investing in weed in Canada.
