BOCA RATON, FL - Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNLN), a leading distributor of premium cannabis accessories and vaporization products currently valued at $2.09 million in market capitalization, has announced the appointment of Michael C. Howe to its board as an independent director. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company faces significant operational challenges, with a concerning 72% revenue decline over the last twelve months. With the addition of Howe, Greenlane has regained compliance with Nasdaq's independent director and audit committee requirements.

Howe's appointment, effective as of December 31, 2024, brings extensive experience to the Greenlane board, with over 40 years in consumer and healthcare sectors. His resume boasts prominent roles at companies like Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP), and CEO positions at Arby's and MinuteClinic, which was acquired by CVS during his tenure.

The new board member's expertise is expected to be a significant asset to Greenlane as it pursues its growth objectives. "Michael will be a tremendous asset to the Board in its oversight of the Company's long-term strategy," said Barbara Sher, CEO of Greenlane. "His exceptional track record in growth-oriented organizations and his strategic insights will be invaluable as we continue to execute on our growth objectives."

Greenlane, founded in 2005, serves a diverse market, including thousands of producers, processors, specialty retailers, and consumers with its family of brands and omnichannel distribution platform. The company also operates several e-commerce sites, offering a range of third-party and proprietary products.

The company's compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) marks the resolution of previously announced deficiencies. Trading at $1.56 per share and a price-to-book ratio of 0.22, InvestingPro's Fair Value analysis suggests the stock may be undervalued.
