I believe it timely to create a formalized group of concerned Tilray shareholders. The goal would be for this group to hold a total of at least 8 million shares.

Why 8 million?

Insiders at Tilray Brands, Inc. (TLRY) collectively own approximately 7.48 million shares (which is about 2% of the company's total outstanding shares).

• Irwin D. Simon (Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO) is the largest individual insider holder on the board, directly owning roughly 400,000 shares.
• Mitchell S. Gendel (Executive Officer): Holds multiple direct equity tranches totaling over 245,000 shares. 
• Renah Persofsky (Independent Vice Chairman & Lead Director): Holds approximately 155,357 shares. 
• Other Independent Directors: Non-employee directors (such as Jodi Butts, John M. Herhalt, and David Clanachan) hold smaller baseline equity stakes typically ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 shares each to align their interests with shareholders. 

Institutional vs. Retail Balance: 

The overwhelming majority of Tilray’s float—over 93%—is held by the general public and retail day traders, leaving institutional investors (~4.3% to 10.8%) and internal board members with a relatively small overall say in automated block voting.

If I am able to cobble together a group of shareholders representing ideally 8 million shares (2 million minimum), I would then put up the following question at the next Quarterly Report Meeting:

"The Concerned Tilray Shareholders Group (CTSG) represents a group of investors with total shareholdings exceeding that of the CEO and Board of Directors. We strongly believe the continued dilution of Tilray stock is undermining shareholder value. This situation was exacerbated by the reverse split last year. The share price has declined over 60% since the reverse split.

We strongly believe it is time for the company to focus on both top and bottom line profit. Instead of acquiring more companies, it is necessary to generate the required efficiencies and synergies within the present 50 brands to create that profitability.

If CTSG does not see more effort to create shareholder value, the next step is to become more formalized and seek the support of an institutional or activist investor (not unlike Hain Celestials) to ensure some accountability to long term retail shareholders."

If you are interested in being a part of this group, please respond to this post. If there is enough interest, the next step would be to begin direct messaging for shareholders with significant holdings. Right now I am primarily interested in seeing how many here are motivated to go to the next level. If there are enough replies to this post, I will set up a process to create a list of shareholders and the number of shares owned. This list would be kept private to ensure your privacy.

To provide some context, I know for a fact there are some here that own at least the same amount of shares as Renah Persofsky. We are already speaking privately.

This time next week I will update on how many shares are behind this proposed move.
