<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As previously announced, on May 14, 2024, Akanda Corp.
(the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, indicating that based
on the Company&rsquo;s shareholders&rsquo; equity of $(3,828,892) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company was no longer
in compliance with the minimum shareholders&rsquo; equity requirement of $2.5 million as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the
&ldquo;Stockholders Equity Requirement&rdquo;) for continued listing on Nasdaq.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As previously announced, between February 2024 and
May 2024, the Company raised an aggregate of approximately $10.0 million from the public sales of its securities. Also as previously announced,
on April 1, 2024, the Company sold RPK Biopharma Unipessoal, LDA, its Portuguese subsidiary, for gross proceeds of $2.0 million, before
fees and expenses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the foregoing events, as of the date
of this Report on Form 6-K, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the Stockholders Equity Requirement. Nevertheless, Nasdaq
will continue to monitor the Company&rsquo;s ongoing compliance with the stockholders&rsquo; equity requirement and, if at the time of
the Company&rsquo;s next periodic report it does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting.</P>
