Peltz’s resignation was announced in a news release Monday along with information about the company’s annual general meeting scheduled for Nov. 12.

Peltz signed on as a strategic adviser in March 2019 to help Aurora lock in partnerships and expand internationally – a move that was heralded at the time as a major vote of confidence for the Canadian company.

Aurora lost more than 3.5 billion Canadian dollars ($2.6 billion) during the time Peltz served as an adviser.

Peltz co-founded New York-based multibillion-dollar asset management firm Trian Fund Management. He is also director of fast-food holding firm Wendy’s Co. and Procter & Gamble.
