Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On February 7, 2024, Lee Fraser, age 45, who had been serving on the board of directors (the “Board”) and as the Chair of the Audit Committee of Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “Planet 13”), transitioned to the position of Chief Administrative Officer. Mr. Fraser has resigned from his position as Audit Committee Chair but will remain on the Board and on the Audit Committee in such capacity until the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders or until his respective successor is elected and qualified, or until his respective earlier resignation, retirement or removal. As Chief Administrative Officer, Lee Fraser will be responsible for strategic planning, sales and purchasing, operations management, risk management and compliance. The role matches Mr. Fraser’s strengths, developed over 20 plus years as a finance and operations executive at several publicly traded companies. His experience overseeing large-scale growth projects and large teams across many different states and countries for media companies such as Warner Bros and Fox Corp will be key in Planet 13’s next phase of growth. There is no parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate relationship between the Company and any of Mr. Fraser’s previous employers.
 
Effective February 7, 2024, the Board appointed Kevin Martin, age 50, to the Board and to the Audit Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Martin will also serve as the Audit Committee Chair. Mr. Martin will serve in such capacities until the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders or until his respective successor is elected and qualified, or until his respective earlier resignation, retirement or removal. This appointment remains subject to regulatory background investigations. As a Board Member, Mr. Martin will apply his knowledge and experience from a career in internal audit at large private and public companies to implementing best practices to improve the Company’s governance, financial practices, and audit and financial procedures. Mr. Martin holds CPA, CFE, and CRMA designations with 22 years of experience in internal audit and operations.
 
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Fraser, Mr. Martin and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected for their respective roles, and there are no related person transactions (within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) between Mr. Fraser, Mr. Martin, and the Company. Neither Mr. Fraser nor Mr. Martin has any family relationships with any of the Company’s directors, executive officers, or other person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.
 
The Company’s press release, dated February 8, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
