IM Cannabis Announces Intention to Complete 30:1 Share Consolidation to Support Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Compliance

TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IM Cannabis Corp. ("IMC" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMCC), a medical cannabis company with operations in Israel and Germany, announces that the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has approved a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares, no par value per share ("Common Shares") on the basis of one post-consolidated Common Share for every thirty pre-consolidated Common Shares (the "Consolidation").

The Board has authorized the Consolidation to be effected on or before September 15, 2026, with the Company currently expecting August 27, 2026 to be the effective date of the Consolidation (the "Effective Date"). The Company anticipates that the Common Shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on a post-Consolidation basis at the opening of trading on August 27, 2026, subject to final confirmation from Nasdaq and completion of applicable corporate, transfer agent and market implementation processes.

Upon the completion of the Consolidation, the CUSIP and ISIN of the Common Shares will be changed to 44969Q505 and CA44969Q5059, respectively. The Company's name and existing stock symbol "IMCC" will remain unchanged.

After giving effect to the Consolidation, the issued and outstanding Common Shares are expected to be reduced from 18,117,650 Common Shares to approximately 603,922 Common Shares, subject to rounding for fractional Common Shares. No fractional Common Shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. Instead, all fractional Common Shares equal to or greater than one-half resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded to the next whole number, otherwise, the fractional Common Share will be cancelled. The exercise price and/or conversion price and number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted in connection with the Consolidation.

The primary purpose of the Consolidation is to increase the per-share trading price of the Common Shares in an effort to support the Company's efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq's US$1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. Under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company has until October 6, 2026 to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. The Company can regain compliance if, during the applicable compliance period of 180 days, the closing bid price of its Common Shares is at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case the Company will be provided with written confirmation of compliance from Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Consolidation will result in the Company regaining compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements or that the Company will otherwise maintain the listing of its Common Shares on Nasdaq.

Registered shareholders as of the Effective Date will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Company's registrar and transfer agent for its Common Shares, providing instructions for the exchange of their Common Shares as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. Registered shareholders may also obtain a copy of the letter of transmittal by accessing the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Until surrendered, each share certificate or direct registration system statement representing pre-consolidated Common Shares will represent the number of whole post-consolidated Common Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. No action is required by beneficial holders to receive post-consolidation Common Shares in connection with the Consolidation. Beneficial shareholders who hold their Common Shares through intermediaries (e.g., a broker, bank, trust company, investment dealer or other financial institution) and who have questions regarding how the Consolidation will be processed should contact their intermediaries with respect to the Consolidation.
