(the “Company”) will be held at 11:00 a.m. (PST) on June 24, 2022 at 645 Laguna Road, Camarillo, California, 93012 for the following purposes: 1. to receive the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, together with the report of the auditor thereon (the “Annual Financial Statements”); 2. for all Shareholders other than holders of Limited Voting Shares, to elect directors of the Company for the ensuing year. For more information, see “Business to be Transacted at the Meeting – Election of Directors” in the Company's management information circular dated May 11, 2022 (the “Information Circular”); 3. to appoint the auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors of the Company to fix the remuneration of the auditor.

Shareholders should refer to the Information Circular for more detailed information with respect to the matters to be considered at the Meeting. The Information Circular and other Meeting materials also contain important information with respect to voting your Company Shares and attending and participating at the Meeting. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company asks that Shareholders follow the current instructions and recommendations of federal, state and local health authorities when considering attending the Meeting. While it is not known what the situation with COVID-19 will be on the date of the Meeting, the Company will adhere to all government and public health authority recommendations and restrictions in order to support efforts to reduce the impact and spread of COVID-19. As such, in order to mitigate potential risks to the health and safety of our communities, Shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. The Company is using the notice-and-access system (“Notice-and-Access”) under National Instrument 54-101 Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations to distribute the Notice of Meeting and Information Circular to Shareholders, as well as the Annual Financial Statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis thereon. Notice-and-Access allows the Company to post electronic versions of its proxy-related materials on SEDAR and on the Company’s website, rather than mailing paper copies to

 

16248-1-99-1_exhibit 99-1_page_2.jpg Shareholders. This alternative means of distribution of the Company’s proxy-related materials is more environmental]y friendly by reducing paper use, and also reduces printing and mailing costs of the Company. Note that Shareholders still have the right to request paper copies of the proxy-related materials posted online by the Company under Notice-and-Access if they so choose. The proxy-related materials are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at https://ir.glasshousebrands.com/agm/. As noted above, the Company will provide to any Shareholder, free of charge, a paper copy of the Information Circular upon request to the Company’s transfer agent, at 1-888-290-1175 (toll-free), up to one year from the date the Information Circular is filed on SEDAR.

The Information Circular will be sent to Shareholders within three (3) business days of their request if such request is made prior to the date of the Meeting.

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_06.jpg GLASS HOUSE BRANDS INC. INFORMATION CIRCULAR FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 24, 2022 PURPOSE OF SOLICITATION This information circular (“Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Glass House Brands Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (“Shareholders”) of subordinate voting shares (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”), restricted voting shares (the “Restricted Voting Shares”), limited voting shares (“Limited Voting Shares”, together with the Subordinate Voting Shares and Restricted Voting Shares, the “Equity Shares”) and multiple voting shares (“Multiple Voting Shares”, together with the Equity Shares, the “Company Shares”) of the Company. The Meeting will be held at 11:00 a.m. (PST) on June 24, 2022 at 645 Laguna Road, Camarillo, California, 93012 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice of Meeting”) accompanying this Information Circular. Information contained herein is given as of May 11, 2022 unless otherwise specifically stated. Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail but may also be by telephone, facsimile, email or in person by directors, officers and employees of the Company who will not be additionally compensated therefor. The costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. NOTICE-AND-ACCESS The Company is using the Notice-and-Access system under National Instrument 54-101 Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) and National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations to distribute its proxy-related materials to Shareholders. Under Notice-and-Access, rather than the Company mailing paper copies of the proxy-related materials and Annual Financial Statements and related management’s discussion and analysis to Shareholders, the materials can be accessed online under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at https://ir.glasshousebrands.com/agm/ The Company has adopted this alternative means of delivery for its proxy-related materials in order to reduce paper use and printing and mailing costs. Shareholders will receive a paper copy of a notice package (the “Notice Package”) under Notice-and-Access via pre-paid mail containing: (i) a notification regarding the Company’s use of Notice-and-Access and how the proxy-related materials may be obtained, (ii) a form of proxy (if you are a Registered Shareholder, as defined below) or a voting instruction form (if you are a Beneficial Shareholder, as defined below), and (iii) a supplemental mailing list return card to elect to receive paper copies of the Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for future financial statements. Shareholders will not receive a paper copy of the Information Circular unless they contact the Company’s transfer agent, toll free, at 1-888-290-1175. For Shareholders who wish to receive a paper copy of the Information Circular in advance of the voting deadline for the Meeting, requests must be received no later than June 10, 2022. 1

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_07.jpg Shareholders with questions about Notice-and-Access may contact the Company’s transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company (“Odyssey”) at 1-888-290-1175. APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES The information in this section applies to Shareholders who hold Company Shares registered in their own name and have a share certificate or direct registration system (DRS) statement (a “Registered Shareholder”). As a Registered Shareholder, you are identified on the share register maintained by Odyssey, the Company's register and transfer agent, as being a Shareholder. Enclosed in the Notice Package is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting. The persons named in the form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. Registered Shareholders have the right to appoint a person or company to represent them at the Meeting other than the persons named in the form of proxy. A Registered Shareholder submitting a proxy who wishes to appoint a person other than the management nominees identified on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, to represent him, her or it at the Meeting may do so by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form and following the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. A Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it prior to its use, in any manner permitted by law, including by an instrument in writing executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his, her or its attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof and deposited at the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, at which the proxy is to be used or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMPANY SHARES The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Company Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Company Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by Registered Shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Company Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Company Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Company Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker (an “Intermediary”). In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Company Shares held by Intermediaries or their agents or nominees can only be voted upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Company Shares for the Intermediary's clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should contact their broker or other Intermediary as soon as practicable to ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Company Shares are communicated to the appropriate person. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories - those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of the securities which they own (“OBOs”) and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they own (“NOBOs”). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries directly or via their transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials to such NOBOs. The Company is not sending the proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs in connection with the Meeting, but rather has distributed copies of Notice Package using Notice-and-Access to the Intermediaries for distribution to NOBOs. If you are a NOBO and the Company or its agent has sent the Notice Package directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of Company Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding the Company Shares on your behalf. - 2 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_08.jpg The Company's OBOs can expect to be contacted by their Intermediary. The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to OBOs and it is the responsibility of such Intermediaries to ensure delivery of the Meeting Materials to their OBOs. The OBO will not receive the proxy-related materials unless the OBO’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every Intermediary or broker has its own procedures for distributing proxy-related materials and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Company Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to Registered Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. The Beneficial Shareholder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number or visit www.proxyvote.com to vote the Company Shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Company Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Company Shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Company Shares voted. Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Company Shares registered in the name of his, her or its broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for a Registered Shareholder and vote the Company Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Company Shares as proxyholder for a Registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting. VOTING OF PROXIES If you are a Registered Shareholder and are unable to attend the Meeting, please exercise your right to vote by dating, signing and returning the form of proxy contained in the Notice Package to Odyssey, the transfer agent of the Company. To be valid, completed proxy forms must be dated, completed, signed and deposited with Odyssey by mail to: Odyssey Trust Company, Attention: Proxy Department, 67 Yonge Street, Suite 702, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1J8. You may also vote through the internet by going to https://login.odysseytrust.com/pxlogin and enter the 12 digit control number found on the form of proxy. Your proxy or voting instructions must be received in each case no later than 11:00 a.m. PST) on June 22, 2022 or two business days preceding the date of any adjournment or postponement. If you are unable to attend the Meeting, we encourage you to complete the form of proxy contained in the Notice Package as soon as possible. If a Shareholder received more than one form of proxy because such holder owns Company Shares registered in different names or addresses, each form of proxy should be completed and returned. The Chairman of the Meeting shall have the discretion to waive or extend the proxy deadline without notice. All Company Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted on any matter that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of proxy in the Notice Package, the Company Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such instructions, with the exception of Limited Voting Shares, which will not be voted in respect of the election for directors of the board of directors. In the absence of any such instructions, the persons whose names appear on the printed form of proxy will vote in favour of all the matters set out thereon. - 3 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_09.jpg The form of proxy contained in the Notice Package confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein. If any other business or amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting properly comes before the Meeting, then discretionary authority is conferred upon the person appointed in the proxy to vote in the manner they see fit, in accordance with their best judgment. As of the date of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knew of no such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Legal Proxy – U.S. Beneficial Shareholders If you are a Beneficial Shareholder located in the United States and wish to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting or, if permitted, appoint a third party as your proxyholder, in addition to the steps described above, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary. Follow the instructions from your Intermediary included with the legal proxy form and the voting information form sent to you, or contact your Intermediary to request a legal proxy form or a legal proxy if you have not received one. After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary, you must then submit such legal proxy to Odyssey. INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON Except as disclosed in this Information Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any material interest of any director or executive officer or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting. VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has fixed May 2, 2022 as the record date for notice of and for voting at the Meeting (the “Record Date”). Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote thereat or at any adjournments or postponements thereof on the basis of one vote for each Equity Share held (other than Limited Voting Shares in respect of the election for directors of the board of directors) and 50 votes for each Multiple Voting Share held, except to the extent that: (i) a Registered Shareholder has transferred the ownership of any Company Shares subsequent to the Record Date; and (ii) the transferee of those Company Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that he, she or it owns the Company Shares and demands, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that his, her or its name be included on the list of persons entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case, the transferee shall be entitled to vote such Company Shares at the Meeting. The transfer books will not be closed. A quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting is present if two Shareholders who are present in person or represented by proxy and who represent at least 25% of the applicable class or series of shares (and, for greater certainty, where more than one class or series of shares are voting together as is the case at this Meeting, at least 25% of the total issued and outstanding shares of such classes or series) are present. The authorized capital of the Company is comprised of an unlimited number of (i) Subordinate Voting Shares, (ii) Restricted Voting Shares, (iii) Limited Voting Shares, (iv) Multiple Voting Shares and (v) preferred shares, issuable in series with such terms as are determined by the Board from time to time. As of the Record Date, there were 58,715,074 Equity Shares, 4,754,979 Multiple Voting Shares and no Preferred Shares outstanding. The Equity Shares are “restricted securities” or “restricted shares”, as applicable, within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws as (i) there is another class of Company Shares (namely, the Multiple Voting Shares) that carries a disproportionate vote per share relative to each class of Equity Shares, and (ii) the share terms of the Limited Voting Shares contain provisions that nullify certain of the voting rights attributable to the Limited Voting Shares (i.e. the Limited Voting Shares do not have votes in respect of the election of directors of the Company).

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The purpose of this Statement of Executive Compensation is to provide information about the Company's philosophy, objectives and processes regarding executive compensation. This disclosure is intended to communicate the compensation provided to each of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and the three next most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, if any, whose individual total compensation was more than C$150,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”), and to the directors of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Named Executive Officers of the Company were Kyle Kazan, Chairman and CEO, Mark Vendetti, the current CFO, Derek Higgins, the former CFO, Graham Farrar, President, Jamin Horn, General Secretary and Daryl Kato, Chief Marketing Officer. Prior to the completion of the Business Combination (as hereinafter defined), Louis Karger and Carmelo Marrelli were the CEO and CFO, respectively, of Mercer Park, neither of whom were employed by Glass House Brands Inc., and Mercer Park was not permitted under the rules of the Neo Exchange regarding special purpose acquisition corporations (the “SPAC”) to pay salaries, consulting fees, director fees or similar payments for services rendered to the SPAC prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, other than the payment of $10,000 (plus applicable taxes) per month for administrative and related services pursuant to an - 9 -

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” “$” or ”US$” in this section, and elsewhere in this Circular, refer to United States dollars which is the Company’s reporting currency. Compensation Discussion and Analysis Compensation Philosophy and Objectives The Company operates in a dynamic and rapidly evolving market. To succeed in this environment and to achieve business and financial objectives, the Company needs to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executive officers. The Company expects the team of executive officers to possess and demonstrate strong leadership and management capabilities, as well as foster the Company's company culture, which is at the foundation of its success and remains a pivotal part of its everyday operations. The Company's executive officer compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives: provide market competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to the Company's success; motivate the Company's executive officers to achieve the Company's business and financial objectives; align the interests of the Company's executive officers with those of the Company's Shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of the Company’s business; and balance achieving short-term results and creating long-term sustainable value to Shareholders by providing incentives that encourage the Company's executive officers to take appropriate levels of risk and that enforce a strong pay for performance relationship. incentivize Earnings Before Interest Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)(1) targets set by the Company for individuals with responsibility or other related functions, for example: For all Company executives if EBITDA for the Company, on a consolidated basis, exceeds $55,000,000 for any three-month period then all executives will have 25% of either: (i) all of their equity incentive plan grants or (ii) the restricted stock units granted by the Company, excluding the replacement RSUs issued in exchange for the cancellation of previously held restricted stock units of GH Group on completion of the Business Combination (the “Performance RSUs”), will be accelerated. Certain executives will have one or more of the following performance-based targets: If EBITDA for the Company, on a consolidated basis, exceeds $25,000,000 for any three-month period certain executives will have 16.67% of either (i) all of their equity incentive plan grants or (ii) their Performance RSUs accelerated. If EBITDA for the Company’s consumer packaged goods business, on a consolidated basis, exceeds $23,000,000 for any three-month period - 10 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_16.jpg certain executives will have 16.67% either (i) all of their equity incentive plan grants or (ii) their Performance RSUs accelerated. If EBITDA from the Company’s Camarillo facility, on a consolidated basis, exceeds $31,000,000 for any three-month period certain executives will have 16.67% of either (i) all of their equity incentive plan grants or (ii) their Performance RSUs accelerated. If the Company completes seven or more mergers and acquisitions or the total acquisition consideration exceeds $100,000,000 (excluding the Company’s transaction with Element 7 transaction and the acquisition of the real estate for the Camarillo facility) certain executives will have 16.67% either (i) all of their equity incentive plan grants or (ii) their Performance RSUs accelerated. The Company expects to establish an appropriate comparator group for the purposes of setting future compensation to the NEOs. Note: (1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is calculated based on Net Loss (being the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest and financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is not a standardized financial measure under United States GAAP and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. The Company uses this metric to measure its core financial and operating performance for business planning purposes. In addition, the Company believes investors use both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess management’s past and future decisions associated with its priorities and allocation of capital, as well as to analyze how the business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact the cannabis industry. This non-GAAP financial measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For further information on non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Company’s managements’ discussion and analysis of financial conditional and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website. Elements of Executive Compensation The compensation of NEOs of the Company currently includes two main elements: (a) base salary; and (b) long-term equity incentives, which consisted of stock options and restricted stock unit awards during 2021, granted under the Equity Incentive Plan (as defined herein), and any other equity plan that may be approved by the Board from time to time. Base Salaries Base salaries are intended to provide an appropriate level of fixed compensation that will assist in employee retention and recruitment. Base salaries will be determined on an individual basis, taking into consideration the past, current and potential contribution to the Company’s success, the NEO’s experience and expertise, the position and responsibilities of the NEO, and competitive industry pay practices for other high growth, premium brand companies of similar size and revenue growth potential. Long-Term Incentives Long-term incentive (“LTI”) compensation awards under the Equity Incentive Plan provide continual motivation for the Company's officers, employees and consultants to achieve business and financial objectives and align their interests with the long-term interests of the Company's Shareholders. The purpose of the LTI program is to promote alignment of interests between employees and Shareholders, and to - 11 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_17.jpg support the achievement of the Company's longer-term performance objectives, while also promoting long-term retention. The Company believes that the best method to attract and retain executive talent and to align interests between the Company’s shareholders and the executives is to prioritize share-linked compensation. Such prioritization benefits the Company as it reduces the cash cost of attracting and retaining executives, a valuable benefit given that the sector that the Company operates in continues to experience higher costs of capital than comparable businesses operating outside of the cannabis sector. As a result, the Company approved the granting of new long-term equity-backed incentives. All new grants by the Company to executives have a standard three-year vesting schedule with performance based accelerations (excluding those issued as replacement for the cancellation of GH Group equity-based compensation under the Business Combination). For the reasons identified above, the Company has not as of the date of this document, and does not expect in the near term, to pay any bonuses to executives. Risks Analysis The CN&CG Committee considered risks associated with executive compensation and does not believe that the Company's executive compensation policies and practices encourage its executive officers to take inappropriate or excessive risks. The following compensation program attributes help mitigate risk: (i) NEOs are compensated through the granting of Options and RSUs (each as defined below), which is compensation that is both “at risk” and associated with long-term value creation; (ii) the value of such compensation is dependent upon Shareholder return over the Option and RSU vesting periods; (iii) the compensation program utilizes multiple performance measures; (iv) the CN&CG Committee applies judgement when determining individual payouts; and (v) individual payout caps are applicable, all of which leads to the CN&CG Committee believing that the Company's compensation programs and policies are not likely to lead to excessive risk taking that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Compensation Governance The Company's CN&CG Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's compensation policies, processes and practices. The CN&CG Committee is also responsible for evaluating performance in determining the compensation of the NEOs, and seeks input from the Board to ensure feedback is thorough and robust. The CN&CG Committee also ensures that compensation policies and practices provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with the Company's risk profile. The Board has established a written charter for the CN&CG Committee setting out its responsibilities for administering the Company's compensation programs and reviewing and making recommendations to the Board concerning the level and nature of the compensation payable to the Company's directors and executive officers. The members of the CN&CG Committee are Bob Hoban, Jamie Mendola and George Raveling. The CN&CG Committee is chaired by Mr. Hoban, President of Hoban Law Group. Mr. Hoban brings valuable knowledge and expertise to the CN&CG Committee. Mr. Hoban has served as a corporate attorney, with a focus on securities and MN&A, for over twenty years. In the course of doing so, Mr. Hoban has served, in effect, as general counsel for dozens of businesses. In that content, Mr. Hoban has garnered a depth of experience on executive compensation issues, the related regulatory matters, and the public reporting thereof. In addition, Mr. Hoban has served in a C-Suite capacity on at least six (6) occasions where he has been primarily responsible for establishing individual and policy-based executive compensation for companies (with over 200 employees) for which he has served. Other than Mr. Mendola, all of the members of the CN&CG Committee are independent directors in that they do not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Company which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the director's independent judgment. The CN&CG Committee also evaluates its own performance on an annual basis. A copy of the CN&CG Committee Charter can be found on the Company’s website at www.ir.glasshousebrands.com. The CN&CG Committee is tasked with establishing an executive compensation program, which includes any share-based awards, option-based awards or the establishment of any non-equity incentive plans.

Insider Trading Policy All of the Company's directors, managers, officers and employees, and certain consultants and other individuals, are subject to the Company's Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits trading in the Company's securities while in possession of material undisclosed information about the Company. Under this policy, such individuals are also prohibited from disclosing inside information pursuant to the Insider Trading Policy. Such individuals, including the NEOs are only permitted to trade in the Company's securities during prescribed trading windows. Furthermore, certain individuals, including the NEOs and directors, must pre-clear any proposed trade in securities of the Company with an Insider Trading Policy Administrator to ensure there is no inside information that has not generally been disclosed. A copy of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy can be found on the Company’s website at www.ir.glasshousebrands.com. Restrictions on Hedging Under the Company's Insider Trading Policy, directors, executives and certain other employees are prohibited from entering into hedging transactions involving the Company's securities, such as short sales, puts and calls. Performance Graph The following graph shows the Company’s cumulative total Shareholder return since May 13, 2019, the date the Company’s shares began trading on the Neo Exchange, to December 31, 2021, compared to the Russell Small Cap Completeness Index and the Advisorshares Pure US Cannabis ETF (which began trading in September 2020). The Company’s executive compensation is largely share-based with a standard vesting schedule that lasts for three years. As a result of using share-based compensation, the performance in share price directly affects the largest portion of the Company’s executive compensation as such compensation, for executives present at the time of the Business Combination, included stock options with fixed exercise prices. The result is that the 63% decrease in share price during the above period had a greater effect on expected compensation for executives with decreases in total equity-linked instruments to such executives ranging from approximately 66% to 69%. - 13 -

Director Compensation Non-Employee Director Compensation Programs The Company's compensation program for non-employee directors is designed to attract and retain highly qualified non-employee directors as well as align with the long-term interests of non-employee directors with those of the Shareholders.

Thus, no cash fees are paid. Directors who act as committee chairs of the Audit Committee or the Compensation Nomination and Governance Committee receive additional compensation. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for their service on the Board. Therefore, neither Kyle Kazan, the Company's Chairman and CEO, nor Graham Farrar, the Company's President, received any additional compensation for their service on the Board in 2021. - 20 -

SECURITY BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has an amended and restated equity incentive plan effective as of June 29, 2021 (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) in place. The Company maintains the Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with Section 7.08 – Security Based Compensation Arrangements and Awards of the Neo Exchange (the “Neo Exchange”) Listing Manual. The Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Shareholders of the Company on June 2, 2021. Summary of the Equity Incentive Plan The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan. It does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by all of the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan, which is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Capitalized terms that are not expressly defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Equity Incentive Plan. Purpose The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to enable the Company and its affiliated companies to: (i) attract and retain employees, officers, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of the Company, (ii) offer such persons incentives to put forth maximum efforts, (iii) compensate such persons through various stock-based arrangements and provide them with opportunities for stock ownership, thereby aligning the interests of such persons and the Shareholders. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of (i) nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (collectively, “Options”), (ii) restricted stock units (“RSUs”), (iii) performance compensation awards, and (iv) unrestricted stock bonuses or purchases, which are referred to herein collectively as “Awards”, all as more fully described below. The Board has the power to manage the Equity Incentive Plan and may delegate such power at its discretion to any committee of the Board, including the CN&CG Committee. Eligibility Any non-employee director of the Company or any employee, officer, director, consultant, independent contractor or advisor providing services to the Company or any Affiliate, or any such person to whom an offer of employment or engagement with the Company or any Affiliate is extended, are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan if selected by the Board (the “Participants”). The basis of participation of an individual under the Equity Incentive Plan, and the type and amount of any Award that an individual is entitled to receive under the Equity Incentive Plan, is determined by the Board based on its judgment as to the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders, and therefore cannot be determined in advance. The maximum number of Equity Shares that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is 10% of the Equity Shares outstanding, on a diluted basis (including the applicable Equity Shares issuable on exchange of the exchangeable shares (the “Exchangeable Shares”) of MPB Acquisition Corp. (“MPB AcquisitionCo”) that are exchangeable for Equity Shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, and on exercise of the share purchase warrants of the Company and Series A Warrants of GH Group (collectively, the “Warrants”) and excluding grants made pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan and any grants of restricted Exchangeable Shares made under any equity plan of MPB AcquisitionCo), from time to time, - 23 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_29.jpg subject to adjustment in the Equity Incentive Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a maximum of 17,400,000 Equity Shares may be issued as ISOs, subject to adjustment in the Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent that section 2.25 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions applies to an Award or issuances of Equity Shares pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, the maximum number of Equity Shares that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan to any one Related Person, or the number of securities that may be issuable on exercise of the Options granted to any one Related Person, as compensation within any one-year period, excluding performance-based Awards (with the performance target being set as the market capitalization of the Equity Shares outstanding), shall not exceed 5.0% of the outstanding Equity Shares, on a diluted basis (including the applicable Equity Shares issuable on exchange of the Exchangeable Shares and on exercise of the Warrants and excluding grants made under the Equity Incentive Plan and any equity plan of MPB AcquisitionCo), at the time of grant, subject to adjustment in the Equity Incentive Plan, or 10% to all Related Persons at time of grant. The maximum number of Equity Shares that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan to the Company’s non-executive directors, as a whole, or the number of securities that may be issuable on exercise of the Awards granted to the Company’s non-executive directors, as a whole, as compensation within any one-year period, shall not exceed 1.0% of the outstanding Equity Shares, on a diluted basis (including the applicable Equity Shares issuable on exchange of the Exchangeable Shares and on exercise of the Warrants and excluding grants made under the Equity Incentive Plan and any equity plan of MPB AcquisitionCo), at the time of grant, subject to adjustment in the Equity Incentive Plan. The Board will not grant Options to any one non-executive director in which the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the Options are granted) of such Options during any calendar year (under the Equity Incentive Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Affiliates) shall exceed $100,000, or will not grant Awards in which the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the Awards are granted) of the Equity Shares in respect to which the Awards are exercisable by such non-executive director during any calendar year (under the Equity Incentive Plan and all other plans of MPB AcquisitionCo and its Affiliates) shall exceed $150,000. Any shares subject to an Award under the Equity Incentive Plan that are not purchased or are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised, are settled in cash, or are used or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations of a Participant shall again be available for Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. In the event of any dividend (other than a regular cash dividend) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Equity Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, forward stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, plan of arrangement, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Equity Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Equity Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event which affects the Equity Shares or unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, the Board may, subject to any required regulatory or Neo Exchange approvals, make such adjustment which it deems appropriate in its discretion in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Equity Incentive Plan, to (i) the number and kind of Equity Shares (or other securities or other property) that may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of Equity Shares (or other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the purchase price or exercise price relating to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment with respect to any outstanding Award, and/or (iv) any share limit set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan. MPB AcquisitionCo may establish an equity plan through which awards of restricted Exchangeable Shares may be granted to service providers to MPB AcquisitionCo and their Affiliates. See “Restricted Exchangeable Shares” for further information. - 24 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_30.jpg Awards Options The Board is authorized to grant Options to purchase Equity Shares that are either ISOs (meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code), or NQSOs (meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code). Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan are subject to the terms and conditions established by the Board. The purchase price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted under Section 409A and Section 424 of the Code, as applicable, the Committee may designate a purchase price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant if the Option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate. Payment in respect of the exercise of an Option may be made in cash or by cheque, by surrender of unrestricted shares (at their fair market value on the date of exercise) or by such other method as the Board may determine to be appropriate. The maximum term of an Option granted under the Equity Incentive Plan is ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% Shareholder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the expiry date of an Option falls within a Blackout Period imposed by the Company and neither the Company nor the individual in possession of the Options is subject to a cease trade order in respect of the Company’s securities, then the expiry date of such Option shall be automatically extended to the 10th business day following the end of the Blackout Period, provided that the extension contemplated by this provision does not apply to Incentive Stock Options. RSUs RSUs are granted in reference to a specified number of Equity Shares and entitle the holder to receive, on achievement of specific performance goals established by the Board or after a period of continued service with the Company or its affiliates or any combination of the above as set forth in the applicable award agreement, one Equity Share for each such Equity Share covered by the RSU; provided, that the Board may elect to pay cash, or part cash and part Equity Shares in lieu of delivering only Equity Shares. The Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of RSUs. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement or as may be determined by the Board upon a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company, the unvested portion of the RSUs will be forfeited and re-acquired by the Company for cancellation at no cost. Unrestricted Stock Bonuses or Purchases The Board is authorized to grant unrestricted Equity Shares as consideration for services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate in the prior calendar year, or may offer a Participant the opportunity to purchase unrestricted Equity Shares for cash consideration equal to the fair market value of the unrestricted Equity Shares. Dividend Equivalents The Board is authorized to grant dividend equivalents, under which the holder is entitled to receive payments (in cash, Equity Shares, other securities or other property, as determined by the Board) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of Equity Shares with respect to a number of Equity Shares determined by the Board. Subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and any applicable award agreement, such dividend equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Board may not grant dividend equivalents to Participants in connection with grants of Options or other Awards, the value of which is based solely on an increase in the value of the Equity Shares after the date of grant of such Award, and (ii) dividend and dividend equivalent amounts may be accrued but shall not be paid unless and until the date on which all conditions or restrictions relating to such Award have been satisfied, waived or lapsed. - 25 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_31.jpg Restricted Exchangeable Shares If, during the term of the Equity Incentive Plan, MPB AcquisitionCo establishes a compensatory plan or arrangement through which they may grant awards of restricted Exchangeable Shares to Participants, any restricted Exchangeable Shares awarded under such plan(s) will reduce the number of Equity Shares that may be awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan on a one-for-one basis. If any restricted Exchangeable Shares awarded under the plans of MPB AcquisitionCo are forfeited, cancelled, or are used or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations of an award recipient thereunder, any such restricted Exchangeable Shares that are forfeited, cancelled, used or withheld will thereafter not be treated as reducing the number of Equity Shares that are available for Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. General The Board may impose restrictions on the vesting, exercise or payment of an Award as it determines appropriate. Generally, no Awards (other than fully vested and unrestricted Equity Shares issued pursuant to any Award) granted under the Equity Incentive Plan is transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No Participant has any rights as a Shareholder with respect to Equity Shares covered by Options or RSUs, unless and until such Awards are settled in Equity Shares. No Option is exercisable, no Equity Shares shall be issued, no certificates, registration statements or electronic positions for Equity Shares shall be delivered and no payment shall be made under the Equity Incentive Plan except in compliance with all applicable laws and Neo Exchange and any other regulatory requirements. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Equity Incentive Plan, and may amend the terms of any previously granted Award at any time, provided that: (i) no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination may (except as expressly provided in the Equity Incentive Plan) materially and adversely alter or impair the terms or conditions of the Award previously granted to a Participant without the written consent of the Participant or holder thereof; and (ii) any amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of any applicable governmental entity or stock exchange, including receipt of any required approval from the governmental entity or stock exchange, and any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of an Award shall be in compliance with the policies of the Neo Exchange. For greater certainty and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Equity Incentive Plan, and may amend or alter any previously granted Award, as applicable, without obtaining the approval of Shareholder, in order to: amend the eligibility for, and limitations or conditions imposed upon, participation in the Equity Incentive Plan, except that any such amendment to change the class or classes of persons eligible to be awarded ISOs will be submitted for Shareholder approval to the extent required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, Section 422; amend any terms relating to the granting or exercise of Awards, including but not limited to terms relating to the amount and payment of the exercise price, or the vesting, expiry, assignment or adjustment of Awards, or otherwise waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively; make changes that are necessary or desirable to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of any applicable governmental entity or the Neo Exchange, including the policies of the Neo Exchange (including amendments to Awards necessary or desirable to avoid any adverse tax results under Section 409A), and no action taken to comply shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely alter or impair the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof; or - 26 -

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_32.jpg amend any terms relating to the administration of the Equity Incentive Plan, including the terms of any administrative guidelines or other rules related to the Equity Incentive Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for greater certainty, prior approval of the Shareholders is required for any amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan or an Award that would require Shareholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Neo Exchange that is applicable to the Company or which would: increase the increase the shares authorized under the Equity Incentive Plan; remove or exceed the limits set out in a Security Based Compensation Arrangement on Awards available to any of (a) a “related party” (as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) of the Company, (b) a promoter of the Company, or, where the promoter is not an individual, an officer, director or control person of the promoter, and (c) such other Person as may be designated from time to time by the Neo Exchange, in respect of the Company; permit a re-pricing of an Award benefiting any of (a) a “related party” (as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) of the Company, (b) a promoter of the Company, or, where the promoter is not an individual, an officer, director or control person of the promoter, and (c) such other person as may be designated from time to time by the Neo Exchange; permit an extension of the term of an Award where the exercise price is lower than the prevailing market price, except pursuant to certain provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan; permit the award of Options at a price less than 100% of the fair market value of an Equity Share on the date of grant of such Option; permit Options to be transferable; amend the amendment provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan; or increase the maximum term permitted for Options or extend the terms of any Options beyond their original expiry date. The Board may without prior approval of the Shareholders, correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Equity Incentive Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness of this Plan. In the event of any reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, plan of arrangement, take-over bid or tender offer, repurchase or exchange of Equity Shares or other securities of the Company or any other similar corporate transaction or event involving the change of control of the Company (or if the Company shall enter into a written agreement to undergo such a transaction or event), the Board may, in its sole discretion, take such measures or make such adjustments in regards to any securities granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, as it deems appropriate, as further described in the Equity Incentive Plan and no action taken under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely alter the rights of any holder of any Award or beneficiary thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a change of control event, all Shares or Options granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan will immediately vest in accordance with the terms of the Equity Compensation Plan. Unless the Awards and the Equity Shares issuable upon exercise or redemption thereof have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws, any Awards or Equity Shares granted to residents of the United States will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act and will be subject to transfer restrictions under U.S. securities laws. - 27 -

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_35.jpg SCHEDULE “A” STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES Capitalized terms used in this Schedule “A” but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Information Circular to which this Schedule “A” is appended. Set out below is a description of the Company's current corporate governance practices and other information relating to the Board, per the CSA Guidelines. The Board and senior management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Company. Listed below is a brief discussion of the Company's approach to corporate governance. Board of Directors The Board's principal duties and responsibilities are described in the Company's Charter of the Board of Directors, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix 1 to Schedule “A”. Certain aspects of the composition and organization of the Board are prescribed and/or governed by the BCBCA and the constating documents of the Company. The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management through the participation of directors. The Board has eight directors of whom five are independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). The Board members are Kyle Kazan, Graham Farrar, Jamie Mendola, Humble Lukanga, Jocelyn Rosenwald, George Raveling, Hector De La Torre and Bob Hoban. Humble Lukanga, Jocelyn Rosenwald, George Raveling, Hector De La Torre and Bob Hoban are independent directors in that they do not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Company which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the director's independent judgment. Kyle Kazan is not considered independent as he is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Graham Farrar is not considered independent as he is the President of the Company. Jamie Mendola is not considered independent as he is Head of Strategy and M&A for Mercer Park. Position Descriptions The Board has developed a position description for the Lead Director, Bob Hoban, an independent director. The role of the Lead Director is to facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of the senior executives of the Company, provide independent leadership to the Board and to the individual directors on the Board and to reinforce the independence of the Board. The Board has also developed a position description for the Chair of the Board, currently Kyle Kazan, a non-independent director. The role of the Chair of the Board is to provide overall leadership to, together with the Lead Director and the committees of the Board, enhance and protect the effectiveness, performance and independence of the Board, the committees of the Board, and individual directors of the Board. The Chair is selected amongst the members of the Board who have a sufficient level of experience with corporate governance issues to ensure the leadership and effectiveness of the Board. The Board has developed a written position description for the Chief Executive Officer. The primary role of the Chief Executive Officer is to manage the Company in an effective, efficient and forward-looking way and to fulfil the priorities, goals and objectives determined by the Board in the context of the Company’s strategic plans, budgets and responsibilities, with a view to increasing Shareholder value. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible to the Board. Further, the Board has developed written position descriptions for the chair of each board committee. The position descriptions for the chair of each board committee can be found in the corresponding committee charters. Copies of the position descriptions for the Lead Director, the Chair of the Board, the Chief A-1

Meetings of independent directors The independent directors may, at their election, meet for in camera sessions without non-independent directors and members of management at the end of each regular Board meeting. Attendance The attendance record of each director for all Board meetings held during the Company's most recently completed financial year is set out below: Board Meetings Attended Audit Committee Meetings Attended CN&CG Committee Meetings Attended Director(1) Kyle Kazan Graham Farrar Jamie Mendola Humble Lukanga Jocelyn Rosenwald George Raveling Hector De La Torre Bob Hoban 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 N/A N/A N/A 1/1 1/1 N/A 1/1 N/A N/A N/A 1/1 N/A 1/1 1/1 N/A 1/1 Directorships The following directors are presently directors of other reporting issuers: Director Name of Other Reporting Issuer Stock Exchange Jamie Mendola Ayr Wellness Inc.

The CN&CG Committee also provides continuing education opportunities for all directors so that individual directors may maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors, as well as to ensure their knowledge and understanding of the Company's business remains current. The CN&CG Committee is authorized to maintain policies and procedures to seek to ensure that sufficient orientation procedures are in place to enable new directors to operate efficiently from the beginning of their appointment. The CN&CG Committee reviews with each new member: (i) certain information and materials regarding the Company, including the role of the Board and its committees and the nature and operation of the Company’s business; and (ii) the legal obligations of a director of the Company. The CN&CG Committee also ensures that sufficient continuing education and development programs are in place for all members of the Board, as required. A-2

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_37.jpg Ethical Business Conduct The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), a copy of which can be found on the Company's website at www.ir.glasshousebrands.com. All Board members, officers and employees of the Company (“Representatives”) are committed to acting in a manner that will enhance the reputation of the Company for conducting its business and affairs with honesty, integrity and fairness and to avoid any conflict that might reflect unfavourably upon us or the Company. The Company expects everyone who conducts business on behalf of the Company to be guided by, and be subject to, the following principles: (a) act ethically and honestly; (b) accept responsibility and be accountable for their actions; (c) make decisions which are in the best interests of the Company; (d) honour agreements and commitments; (e) conduct business in an environmentally and socially responsible manner; (f) communicate with all stakeholders in an honest and straight-forward manner; (g) select and treat all employees if the Company in a respectful, fair and equitable manner and foster a work environment that is safe and healthy and free from discrimination, harassment, intimidation and hostility of any kind; and (h) obey all laws governing the conduct of the business and affairs of the Company. Conflicts of Interest Pursuant to the Code, Representatives shall act with honesty and integrity and in the best interests of the Company and to avoid any relationship or activity that might create, or appear to create, a conflict between Representatives’ personal interests and the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest arises where Representatives’ position or responsibilities with the Company present an opportunity for personal gain, apart from the normal rewards of being a director, senior officer or other employee to the detriment of the Company. A conflict of interest also arises where outside personal interests are inconsistent with those of the Company and create conflicting loyalties. Before any Representative participates in any outside business interest which may give rise to such a conflict of interest, they should first disclose that interest to the Company and obtain approval to pursue such interest. Pursuant to the BCBCA, any officer or director of the Company with a conflict of interest must disclose the nature and extent of such conflict to the Board and recuse themselves from a matter that materially conflicts with that individual's duty as a director or senior officer of the Company. If a Representative is faced with a conflict, they shall promptly disclose such conflict, or potential conflict, to the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations All Representatives shall comply with the laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions where they carry out their duties and all jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business activities. All Representatives shall comply with the Code and all Company policies that apply to them, including, without limitation, the Code, Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy, Disclosure Policy, Diversity Policy, Insider Trading Policy and Whistleblower Policy. Compliance with and Violations of the Code The Board is ultimately responsible, acting through the Audit Committee, for the Code and monitoring compliance therewith. Representatives are encouraged and expected to: (a) identify and raise potential issues before they cause problems; (b) take all responsible steps to prevent any violation of the Code; (c) report actual or potential violations of the Code of which they become aware; and (d) seek additional guidance when advisable. Retaliatory action against any individual for raising such concerns or questions or for reporting suspected violations of the Code in good faith will not be tolerated by the Company. Nomination of Directors The CN&CG Committee is currently comprised of three members, Jamie Mendola, George Raveling and Bob Hoban. The majority of CN&CG Committee members are independent directors. The Board is A-3

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_38.jpg confident that any potential risk of the non-independent directors being unable to exercise impartial judgment would be mitigated by the fact that the majority of the committee members are independent directors. The CN&CG Committee performs the following functions, among other things: (a) develops and updates a long-term plan for the composition of the Board that takes into consideration the current strengths, competencies, skills and experience of the Board members, retirement dates and the strategic direction of the Company, and reports to the Board thereon periodically; (b) undertakes on a periodic basis an examination of the size of the Board, with a view to determining the impact of the number of directors, the effectiveness of the Board, and recommends to the Board, if necessary, a reduction or increase in the size of the Board; (c) endeavours, in consultation with the Chair of the Board (or Lead Director, if applicable), to seek to ensure that an appropriate system is in place to evaluate the effectiveness of the Board as a whole as well as the committees of the Board, with a view to ensuring that they are fulfilling their respective responsibilities and duties; (d) in consultation with the Chair of the Board (or Lead Director, if applicable), and the Chief Executive Officer, annually or as required, recruits and identifies individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommends to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of Shareholders; and (e) in consultation with the Chair of the Board (or Lead Director, if applicable), annually or as required, recommends to the Board the individual directors to serve on the various committees. Compensation For information regarding the process by which the CN&CG Committee determines compensation for the Company's directors and officers, please see under the heading “Statement of Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis”. Board Assessments The CN&CG Committee is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the Board and the performance of the directors. The CN&CG Committee assesses the operation of the Board and the committees, the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management, and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and committees. The CN&CG Committee recommends changes to enhance the performance of the Board accordingly. Based upon the Company's size, its current state of development and the number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal process for assessing the effectiveness and contribution of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors to be unnecessary at this time. In light of the fact that the Board and its committees meet on several occasions each year, each director has regular opportunities to assess the Board as a whole, its committees and other directors in relation to the Board's and such director's assessment of the competencies and skills that the Board and its committees should possess. The Board plans to continue to evaluate its own effectiveness and the effectiveness of its committees and individual directors in such manner. Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal The Company does not have a retirement policy and does not discriminate based on age. The Company considers it to be an integral role of the Board and the CN&CG Committee to assess director engagement and fitness to be a director of the Company. Similarly, the Board has not adopted a term limit for directors or established a formal process for the renewal of Board membership. The Board is of the view that the imposition of arbitrary director term limits may diminish the benefits derived from continuity amongst members and their familiarity with the Company and the industry in which it operates, and could unnecessarily expose the Company to losing experienced and valuable talent. The Board's renewal process is built around the concept of performance management. To that end, the Board relies on assessment procedures, and the role of the CN&CG Committee, to ensure the quality and expertise of its Board. A-4

 

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_39.jpg Diversity Diversity Policy The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy in recognition of the fact that a diverse Board will include and make good use of differences in the skills, regional and industry experience, professional expertise, personal skills, background, race, gender, status, age, education, nationality, culture, language, geographic background and other distinctions between directors. These differences will be considered in determining the optimum composition of the Board and when possible should be balanced appropriately. All Board appointments are made on merit, in the context of the skills, experience, independence and knowledge which the Board as a whole requires to be effective. As set out in the Diversity Policy, the Board recognizes that gender diversity is a significant aspect of diversity and acknowledges the role that women with the right skills and experience can play in contributing to diversity of perspective in the boardroom. Selection of female candidates to join the Board will be, in part, dependent on the pool of female candidates with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience. The ultimate decision will be based on merit and the contribution the chosen candidate will bring to the Board. In order to promote the specific objective of gender diversity, the Diversity Policy requires that the selection process for Board appointments must involve the following steps: (a) a short-list identifying potential candidates for the appointment must be compiled; and (b) if, at the end of the selection process, a female candidate is not selected, the Board must be satisfied that there are objective reasons to support its determination. The CN&CG Committee will discuss and approve annually all measurable objectives for achieving diversity on the Board and recommend them to the Board for adoption. At any given time, the Board may seek to improve one or more aspects of Board diversity and measure progress accordingly. The Diversity Policy also covers senior executive appointments and requires the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to have reference to the policy in selecting and assessing candidates and in presenting recommendations to the Board regarding appointments to the senior executive team. The Diversity Policy requires the Board to also consider whether potential candidates have diverse backgrounds (with a particular focus on potential candidates who are women, visible minorities, Aboriginal people and persons with disabilities), and the objectives of the policy when considering those recommendations. In order to facilitate greater gender diversity in management and leadership roles, the Diversity Policy requires the Company to: (a) implement policies which address impediments to gender diversity in the workplace and review their availability and utilization; (b) regularly review the proportion of women at all levels of the Company; (c) monitor effectiveness of, and continue to expand on, existing initiatives designed to identify, support and develop talented women with leadership potential; and (d) continue to identify new ways to entrench diversity as a cultural priority across the organization. The CN&CG Committee will discuss and approve annually all measurable objectives for achieving diversity on the senior executive team and recommend them to the Board for adoption. At any given time, the Board may seek to improve one or more aspects of senior executive diversity and measure progress accordingly. Consideration of the Representation of Women in the Director Identification and Selection Process In general, the Board aspires to continuously improve the diversity of the Board and the Company's management team. As discussed above and set out in the Diversity Policy, the Board believes that diversity (including, but not limited to, gender) is important to ensure that the profiles of directors and members of the Company's executive management provide the necessary range of perspectives, experience and expertise required to achieve effective stewardship and management. The Company believes that diversity is an important attribute of a well-functioning Board and an efficient team of executive officers. The Company recognizes that gender diversity is a significant aspect of diversity and believes women play an important leadership role in executing on the Company's strategy, and this belief forms an important part of the focus of management in the appointment and recruitment of officers and the Board in the search and selection of nominee directors.

16248-1-99-5_exhibit 99-5_page_40.jpg Targets Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions At this time, the Company has not adopted a target regarding the representation of women on the Board or in executive officer positions. The Company does not adopt targets because the Company is of the view that its current practice of considering diversity as a factor in selecting candidates as potential directors or executive officers, and other measures set out in the Diversity Policy, permits the Company to balance the benefit of diversity with other relevant considerations, including relevant career experience, industry knowledge and experience, and financial and other specialized experience. The Board has one woman serving as a director (12.5% of directors). Currently, none of the executive officers of the Company are women. Twenty-five (25%) of the Company’s senior leadership (executive officers, senior vice presidents and vice presidents) are women. AUDIT COMMITTEE INFORMATION The Audit Committee is governed by an Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is attached to the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2022 (the “AIF”) and available on the Company’s website at www.ir.glasshousebrands.com. The information required to be disclosed by section 5.1 of NI 52-110 can be found under the heading “Audit Committee” of the Company's AIF. A-6
