Realignment to leverage the deep talent that exists within GrowGen

GrowGeneration Corp. (NASDAQ: GRWG) (“GrowGen” or the “Company”), the largest chain of specialty hydroponic and organic garden centers with 62 locations across 14 states, announced a series of organizational developments in the areas of accounting and finance and corporate affairs. This realignment is part of our ongoing efforts to better position the Company for future growth and drive long-term shareholder value.

Effective August 12, 2022, Jeff Lasher has resigned as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company and, concurrently, Greg Sanders, previously Vice President and Corporate Controller, has been promoted to the role of Chief Financial Officer.

“Greg has emerged as one of our Company’s brightest leaders through his contributions to the growth and success of GrowGen over the past several years. I am confident in his abilities to excel in the CFO role to deliver strong financial performance over the long term,” said Darren Lampert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

Mr. Lampert continued, “During his nearly five-year tenure at GrowGen, Greg has supported the organization through multiple business cycles and has been deeply involved in the integration of all acquisitions and store openings. His role and responsibilities to date provide him with intimate knowledge of our industry, customers, suppliers, and employees, and he has built close working relationships with our management team, auditors, and other external advisors.”

Separately, Stephen Kozey, previously Vice President of Legal, is being promoted to General Counsel and will oversee all legal and compliance activities for the business, as well as GrowGen’s Human Resource department. He will report to CEO Darren Lampert.

“Stephen has proven to be an outstanding addition to GrowGen since joining the Company last year. He has a sharp legal mind with tremendous experience at preeminent law firms, and he has developed an excellent sense of our people, business, and industry,” said Mr. Lampert.

Regarding these realignments announced today, Mr. Lampert said, “These most recent developments are part of our broader efforts to more fully realize the longer-term opportunities that lie ahead and leverage the deep talent that exists within GrowGen.”
